If you're a traveler, you might have one of these. My mom had one some years back, and she loved it. She said it sure made staying in cheap hotels (or at my brother's house) a lot easier. Just plop the heater into the cup of water, plug it in and bwalla, ready for tea. Unfortunately, it's been recalled. The reason: "Moisture in the heating element could cause corrosion over time, presenting a shock hazard". Bummer. If you've got one, return it and get yer money back!

Is it all models or just one from one particular manufacturer?

we travel a lot, and must have a medical tea before retiring for the night.
How will we be able to heat the water for this product?
