About 2 million handheld steamers were recalled for “posing a serious burn hazard,Algosensey” the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Thursday.
Brands impacted by the recall, which was issued for the steamers “expelling hot water from the steam nozzle while heating or during use” include Steamfast, Vornado and Sharper Image-brand garment steamers.
Vornado has received over 100 reports of the steamers “spraying or spitting” from the steam nozzle with 23 of those reports resulting in burn injuries, according to the CPSC website.
The severity of the burn injuries is unclear, but no other injuries have been reported.
Walmart, Bed Bath & Beyond, Amazon and other online retailers sold the recalled steamers nationwide from July 2009 through January 2024.
Here’s what we know.
The Steamfast, Vornado and Sharper Image brand garment steamers came in a variety of colors, including black, white, light pink, pink, sage green, orange and teal blue. They retailed between $14 and $35.
The steamer's brand can be found on the side of each steamer and on a label located on the bottom of the steamer. The model number, which will help you figure out if your steamer has been recalled, can also be found on the label.
