On March 19, 2026, Wagner announced a significant recall affecting 700,000 units of their 900 Series Power Steamers. This recall was prompted by serious safety concerns regarding the potential for burn injuries associated with specific models of the steam cleaner.
The affected models include the 905e Auto Steamer, 915e On-Demand Power Steamer, and 925e Steam Machine Elite Steamer. Reports indicate that the issue lies with the steamer’s hose, which can become excessively hot and discharge hot water through the nozzle during and after use.
Since the problem was identified, there have been at least 156 incidents reported, with 50 of those incidents resulting in burn injuries to users’ arms, hands, feet, and face. Many of these injuries were classified as first- or second-degree burns, highlighting the severity of the situation.
In light of these findings, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has urged consumers to stop using the recalled steamers immediately. Wagner is taking steps to address the issue by providing a free repair kit to affected customers. This kit includes a hose sleeve, nozzle cover, and funnel to help mitigate the risks associated with the product.
The recall notice was officially posted on the CPSC website, ensuring that consumers have access to the necessary information regarding the safety of their steam cleaners. Wagner has stated that all steamer models share the same base but come with different accessories, which may affect the specific risks associated with each model.
As the situation develops, it is crucial for consumers to stay informed about the recall and any updates from Wagner or the CPSC. The safety of users remains a top priority, and the company is committed to addressing these concerns promptly.
For those who own one of the affected models, it is essential to follow the instructions provided by Wagner and utilize the repair kit to ensure safe operation of the steam cleaner. This recall serves as a reminder of the importance of consumer safety and the need for vigilance when using home appliances.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the full extent of the recall’s impact and any further actions that may be taken by Wagner or regulatory bodies. Consumers are encouraged to monitor official announcements for the latest information.
