On March 19, 2026, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a significant recall affecting approximately 700,000 Wagner 900 Series Power Steamers. This recall was initiated due to potential burn risks associated with the product.
The affected models include the 905e Auto Steamer, 915e On-Demand Power Steamer, and 925e Steam Machine Elite Steamer. The recall was prompted by reports indicating that the steamer’s hose could become excessively hot, leading to the discharge of hot water through the nozzle during and after use.
According to the CPSC, there have been at least 156 reported incidents involving the hose overheating or the nozzle expelling hot water. Alarmingly, among these reports, 50 cases included burn injuries to users’ arms, hands, feet, and face, with many resulting in first- or second-degree burns.
In light of these safety concerns, consumers are strongly advised to stop using the recalled steamers immediately. Wagner has responded to the situation by offering a free repair kit, which includes a hose sleeve, nozzle cover, and funnel to mitigate the risks associated with the affected products.
The issue centers on the steamer’s hose, which officials say could become excessively hot and discharge hot water through the nozzle/gun during and after use. All steamer models contain the same base steamer but include different accessories.
The recall notice was prominently posted on the CPSC website, ensuring that consumers are informed of the potential dangers linked to these steam cleaners. The swift action taken by Wagner and the CPSC highlights the importance of consumer safety in the home appliance sector.
As of now, consumers are encouraged to check if their Wagner steam cleaner is among the recalled models and to take appropriate action if it is. Details remain unconfirmed regarding the exact timeline for the repair kit distribution.
This sequence of events underscores the critical nature of product safety and the responsibilities of manufacturers to ensure their products do not pose risks to consumers. The recall not only affects those who own the steamers but also raises broader concerns about product safety standards in the industry.
