More than 3 million steam cleaners are being recalled after dozens of people are burned by steam or hot water

Here’s another huge recall consumers need to know about.

Bissell is recalling about 3.2 million steam shot handheld cleaners in the United States and another 355,000 in Canada.

The recalled steam cleaners can spew hot water or steam onto users while heating or during use, posing a burn risk.

Bissell has received 183 reports of hot water or steam spewing from the product, including 157 reports of minor burn injuries.

The recall involves multiple models of the Bissell Steam Shot Handheld Steam Cleaners in the model series 39N7 and 2994. “STEAM SHOT” or “POWER STEAMER” is printed on the side. 

The model numbers are printed on the product rating label located on the bottom of the unit. Colors include green, pink, blue, orange, white, black, purple, and red.

The recalled steam cleaners were sold at Target, Walmart, and other department and home goods stores nationwide and online at www.bissell.com, www.amazon.com, www.hsn.com, and other websites from August 2008 through May 2024. The price was between $35 and $40, or $70 for a two-pack.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled steam cleaners, the company and U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission advise. They can contact Bissell to receive either a $60 credit to be used towards a Bissell.com purchase, or a $40 refund for each of the recalled steam cleaners.

Consumers should visit www.BISSELL.com/steamshotrecall to register for the recall, and for instructions on how to cut the cord and take and upload a photo of the steam cleaner showing the model number and cut cord.
