Wagner Spray Tech Series Power Steamers recall: Burn Hazard

Wagner Spray Tech Recalls 900 Series Power Steamers Due to Burn Hazard. Units affected: About 700,000 (In addition, about 8,000 in Canada).

This recall involves Wagner 900 Series power steamers. Models 905e Auto Steamer, 915e On-Demand Power Steamer, and 925e Steam Machine Elite Steamer are included in this recall. All steamer models contain the same base steamer but include different accessories. The steamers include a yellow and black pressurized boiler base with "Wagner" written on the sides of the product. The model number may also appear on the sides of the product. The base also contains a clear storage compartment for accessories, a handle, wheels, an eight-foot-long black steam hose, and a nozzle/gun with trigger to start and stop the steam. Sold at: The Home Depot, Lowe's, Walmart, Target, HSN and QVC, and online at Amazon.com and www.wagnerspraytech.com from November 2018 to March 2026 for between $130 and $200. Made in China.

The attached hose can get excessively hot and the nozzle/gun can expel hot water during use and after the trigger is engaged, posing a serious burn hazard to consumers. Wagner has received at least 156 incidents involving the hose getting too hot or the nozzle/gun expelling hot water. This includes over 50 reported burn injuries to consumers' arms, hands, feet, and face, many of which resulted in first- or second-degree burns.

Consumers should stop using the recalled steamers immediately and contact Wagner for a free repair kit, consisting of a hose sleeve, nozzle cover and funnel.
