WASHINGTON, D.C.- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Kmart Corp., of Troy, Mich., is recalling about
24,000 MARTHA STEWART EVERYDAY® brand tea kettles. Boiling water can
be expelled from the kettle's spout, presenting a burn hazard to

colored porcelain. The words, "MSE Thailand" are printed on the knob
attached to the lid of the kettle.

Consumers should stop using these tea kettles immediately and
return them to any Kmart store for a refund. Consumers can also call
