Over 3 million steam cleaners are under recall because they can spew hot water and cause burns

Some 3.3 million steam cleaners are being recalled across North America due to a burn hazard that has resulted in consumers reporting more than 150 injuries. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada, select models of Bissell-branded “Steam Shot Handheld Steam Cleaners” can spew hot water or steam while the products are in use or being heated. Bissell has received 183 reports of hot water or steam expelling from the products, including 157 reports of minor burns. Impacted consumers are urged to immediately stop using the now-recalled steam cleaners and contact Michigan-based Bissell for a refund or store credit.
