700K steamers recalled
Wagner recalled roughly 700,000 power steamers after dozens of burn injuries were reported, prompting repair‑kit availability and customer alerts — another safety recall associates may need to answer questions about this week. Retailers are dealing with a wave of recalls, so staff should be ready to direct customers to manufacturer and CPSC resources. (foxbusiness.com)
Recall announced March 19, 2026 and assigned recall number 26-328 by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. (cpsc.gov)) The recall covers Wagner 900 Series power steamers, specifically models 905e Auto Steamer, 915e On‑Demand Power Steamer, and 925e Steam Machine Elite Steamer. (cpsc.gov)) Wagner reported at least 156 incidents involving overheating hoses or nozzles expelling hot water, including more than 50 consumer burn injuries that were described as first‑ or second‑degree. (cpsc.gov)) The hazard noted by regulators is that the attached hose can get excessively hot and the nozzle/gun can expel hot water during use and after the trigger is engaged, and consumers were told to stop using the steamers immediately. (cpsc.gov)) Units were sold at The Home Depot, Lowe’s, Walmart, Target, HSN, QVC, Amazon.com and Wagner’s website from November 2018 through March 2026 for about $130–$200. (cpsc.gov)) Wagner is offering a free repair kit that includes a hose sleeve, nozzle cover and funnel, and consumers can contact Wagner toll‑free at 800‑962‑6118, by email at us‑wagnerrecall@wagner‑group.com, or online at Wagner’s recall page; the importer is Wagner Spray Tech Corp. of Plymouth, Minnesota and the units were manufactured in China.
