Overview

• The Crofton 0.8-liter cast-iron teapot, sold on January 6, 2025, is being recalled due to cobalt residues in its coating that surpass legal thresholds.
• High cobalt intake can lead to gastrointestinal issues such as vomiting and diarrhea, with potential long-term health effects from prolonged exposure.
• The recall applies to teapots in black (GTIN: 4068706225161) and white-gold (GTIN: 4068706225178), sold at Aldi Nord stores in twelve German states, including Berlin, Hamburg, and Hessen.
• Customers are advised to return the affected teapots to any Aldi Nord store for a full refund and to avoid further use of the product.
• This marks another recall for the Crofton brand, which has previously faced product safety issues with glass storage containers and cutlery.
