ITHACA, NY (607NewsNow) – Over 1.5 million Bissell steam cleaners are being recalled for burn hazards.

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), some models of Steam Shot Omni Reach and Steam Shot Omni handheld steam cleaners can expel hot water or steam during use due to a faulty attachment.

There have been 206 reports of hot water or steam unexpectedly escaping the attachments, including 161 reports of injuries. One person reported suffering a second-degree burn.

The product was sold by Target, Walmart, and other department and home goods stores, as well as online at Bissell.com, Amazon.com, HSN.com, and other websites from October 2024 through March of this year.
