On March 19, 2026, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a significant recall affecting 700,000 units of Wagner’s 900 Series Power Steamers. This decision was prompted by alarming reports of potential burn risks associated with the devices.
The recall specifically targets three models: the 905e Auto Steamer, the 915e On-Demand Power Steamer, and the 925e Steam Machine Elite Steamer. Consumers have been alerted that the issue stems from the steamer’s hose, which can become excessively hot and discharge hot water through the nozzle during and after use.
As of the recall announcement, there have been at least 156 reported incidents involving these steamers, with 50 of those incidents resulting in burn injuries to users’ arms, hands, feet, and face. Many of these cases have resulted in first- or second-degree burns, raising serious safety concerns for consumers.
Wagner is taking steps to address the issue by providing a free repair kit that includes a hose sleeve, nozzle cover, and funnel to mitigate the risks associated with the affected models. Consumers are strongly advised to stop using the recalled steamers immediately to avoid any potential injuries.
The CPSC’s recall notice highlights the importance of consumer safety and the need for vigilance when using home appliances. All steamer models in question share the same base design but come with different accessories, which may contribute to the confusion among users.
As the situation develops, it is crucial for those who own these steamers to stay informed and take the necessary precautions. The recall serves as a reminder of the potential hazards that can arise from everyday household items.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the full extent of the incidents and any further actions that may be taken by Wagner or the CPSC. However, the company is committed to ensuring the safety of its customers and addressing any concerns that arise from this recall.
