More than a million steam cleaners were recalled because the attachments can come off while being used and allow hot water or steam to spray onto a person, posing a burn hazard.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall of more than 1.7 million Bissell Steam Shot OmniReach and Steam Shot Omni Steam Cleaners.
There have been 206 reports of hot water or steam coming from the attachments unexpectedly, with 161 reports of burn injuries, including one that was a second-degree burn, the CPSC said.
They were sold at Target, Walmart and other stores and online on Bissell, Amazon, HSN and other websites from October 2024 to March 2026 for between $9 and $55.
The following model numbers were recalled:

You can find the model numbers on the bottom of the device. They came in gray, green, white, blue, or dark blue, and depending on the model, came with various accessories.
