On March 19, 2026, Wagner announced a significant recall affecting 700,000 units of its 900 Series Power Steamers. This urgent measure comes in response to alarming reports of burn risks associated with specific models, including the 905e Auto Steamer, 915e On-Demand Power Steamer, and 925e Steam Machine Elite Steamer.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) revealed 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. This defect has led to at least 156 reported incidents, raising serious safety concerns.
Among these incidents, 50 reports detail burn injuries affecting users’ arms, hands, feet, and face. Many of these cases resulted in first- or second-degree burns, prompting immediate action from Wagner.
Consumers are strongly advised to stop using the recalled steamers immediately to prevent further injuries. Wagner is taking responsibility by providing a free repair kit that includes a hose sleeve, nozzle cover, and funnel to mitigate the risks associated with the affected models.
The recall notice was prominently posted on the CPSC website, ensuring that consumers are informed about the potential dangers. Wagner has stated, “All steamer models contain the same base steamer but include different accessories,” indicating that the core issue lies within the design of the hose.
As the situation develops, consumers are urged to stay updated on further instructions from Wagner and the CPSC. The urgency of this recall highlights the importance of consumer safety and the need for immediate action when potential hazards are identified.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the full extent of the injuries reported, but the proactive response from Wagner aims to prevent any additional harm.
