QIOMALA Pressure Washers Recalled Due to Serious Risk of Injury or Death from Shock and Electrocution Hazards
Reported by CPSC · November 12 at 12:00 AM · Summary by Wall & Wick
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has recalled QIOMALA-branded electric pressure washers, model HWT12P, sold in green and blue. The units lack an adequate-length power cord, which may encourage use of an extension cord and create a risk of shock or electrocution. The model number is printed on a label on the back of the unit, near the power cord entry point.
Background
Pressure washers use high-pressure water and electricity close together, so a damaged or improvised power connection raises the chance of shock. Recalls of this kind are usually issued because a product's design or labeling creates a hazard that owners may not spot on their own. Under federal law, recalled products generally cannot be sold once a recall is in effect.
Why it matters
Pressure washers are a common tool for cleaning patios, siding and outdoor furniture, and an unsafe power setup can cause serious injury in a yard or garage.
What you can do
Check the back of the unit near the power cord for model number HWT12P, and if it matches, stop using it and contact QIOMALA for refund instructions before disposing of it.
