More than three and a half million portable steam cleaners manufactured by Bissell are included in the recall of the Steam Shot range. Here is how you may determine whether or not you have one of the goods that are impacted.
Now is not the time to begin your undertakings involving deep cleaning. Bissell has issued a recall that concerns their famous Steam Shot Handheld Steam Cleaners, and the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) of the United States has informed individuals about the recall.
For those who are aficionados of the Steam Shot and utilize the steam cleaner for a variety of purposes, including cleaning grout and polishing vehicle interiors, this recall will come as a surprise.
This is the information that you need to know regarding the recall of the Bissell steam shot.
If Bissell is recalling its steam cleaners, what is the reason?
There is no longer any reason to continue utilizing the steam cleaners. The recalled steam cleaners, according to Bissell, have the potential to release hot water or steam onto persons while they are in operation, which poses a risk of burns. A total of 183 reports of hot water or steam escaping from the Steam Shot have already been received by the firm.
Among these reports, 157 cases of mild burn injuries have been received. Given that our most recent evaluation of the Bissell Steam Shot was, for the most part, positive, this comes as a letdown.
Which steam cleaners manufactured by Bissell have been recalled?
The Bissell Steam Shot Handheld Steam Cleaners are being recalled for numerous models, including the following:
- “STEAM SHOT” or “POWER STEAMER” will be printed on the side of the product, depending on the market.
- Both the model codes 39N7 and 2994 will be printed on the label that is used to score the product.
It would appear that the recall applies to all of the colors of the Bissell Steam Shot, including green, pink, blue, orange, white, black, purple, and red.
All of your other Bissell devices, such as steam mops and portable vacuums, can still be used without risk.
When I buy a Steam Shot, how can I tell whether it has been recalled?
Checking the model number on the product rating label that is located at the bottom of the product will allow you to determine whether or not your Steam Shot model is included in the recall. Both the 39N7 and 2994 model numbers are what you are searching for.
Target, Walmart, and other large retailers, as well as online retailers such as Amazon, HSN, bissell.com, and others, were among the retailers that sold the recalled Steam Shot models. Between the months of August 2008 and May 2024, you had the opportunity to purchase the product at any moment.
Next, what steps should I take?
You must immediately discontinue the use of a steam cleaner that has been recalled. Then, get in touch with Bissell to obtain either a $40 refund or a $60 credit that may be applied against a purchase made on Bissell.com. (The Steam Shot versions that were recalled were all being offered for prices ranging from $35 to $40.)
Visit the website bissell.com/steamshotrecall in order to register for the recall notice. First, you will need to provide a picture of the steam cleaner that clearly displays the model number. Next, you will need to cut the cable and upload a picture of that as well.
