A recall has been issued for 1.7 million steamers because the products could cause a serious burn risk, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. 

Bissell Homecare Inc. pulled its Steam Shot OmniReach and Steam Shot Omni Steam Cleaners with attachments after the company received 206 reports of hot water or steam "unexpectedly escaping" from the steam cleaners’ attachments, including 161 reports of burn injuries with a report of one second degree burn, the CPSC noted.

CPSC officials explained in a recall notice that the steam cleaners’ attachments can unexpectedly detach from the steam cleaners and eject hot water or steam on a person while using the device, which may pose a severe burn hazard.

These recalled steamers were sold at Target, Walmart and other department and home goods stores nationwide and online at BISSELL.com, Amazon.com, HSN.com and other websites from October 2024 to March 2026 for between $9 and $55.

If I have the recalled steamer, what should I do with it?

What you can do:

Consumer Product Safety Commission officials are telling owners of the recalled steamer to stop using the product and call Bissell to receive free new attachments.

 Additionally, consumers can go to www.steamshot2026.com to register for the recall and receive instructions on how to participate in the recall, including ways to upload a picture showing the attachment accessories being disposed of in the trash.
