WHAT HAPPENED

Tiger Corporation has announced a recall of certain electric kettles (電気ケトル) after discovering that the product fails to meet the mandatory tip-over spill test (転倒流水試験) required under Japanese safety regulations. The recall was officially posted on the Consumer Affairs Agency recall database on July 21, 2026, and is also referenced by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI).

The tip-over spill test is designed to prevent scalding injuries if the kettle is accidentally knocked over while containing hot water. Products that do not pass this test pose a potential burn hazard to users, especially in households with children or pets. Tiger Corporation has not yet disclosed the specific model numbers, lot numbers, or the total number of affected units, but is urging consumers to check their kettles and follow the recall instructions.

If you own a Tiger electric kettle, please take the following steps:

• Immediately stop using the kettle and unplug it.
• Check the product label or packaging for any model or serial number information, though none have been specified in the recall notice.
• Contact Tiger Corporation’s customer service via the contact information provided on the recall page to arrange for a refund, replacement, or repair.
• Visit the official Consumer Affairs Agency recall site (管理番号: 00000035579) or METI’s website for further updates.
