By WK Editorial Staff

There have been three reports of injuries associated with the product, including a second-degree burn.

Sanven Technology Ltd., dba VEVOR, of Rancho Cucamonga, California, is recalling about 2,840 VEVOR Garment Steamers because they can leak or spit hot water, posing a risk of serious burn injury to users and bystanders. The water tank cap can also leak or detach during use, exposing users to hot water (CPSC Recall Notice, No. 26-142 (Dec. 11, 2025)).

Incidents and injuries. The firm has received six reports of hot water spitting, pouring out, leaking, or dripping from the steamers, and 12 reports of issues with the water tank cap detaching, leaking, not staying closed, fitting loosely, or melting. The reported cap issues resulted in two burn injuries, including one consumer who received a permanent scar and a second-degree burn from the hot water after the steamer’s cap suddenly detached, and one consumer who received a minor burn on their hand and fingers from leaked water. Additionally, there is one report of a minor steam burn through the provided glove.

The steamer body is white with “VEVOR” and “TOUGH TOOLS, HALF PRICE” printed in orange lettering on the side of the product beneath the water reservoir window. There is a red toggle power switch on the handle. “VEVOR,” “Garment Steamer,” “FCL-H09,” and “Manufacturer: Guangdong ESINO Technology Group Co., Ltd” are printed on a label on the bottom of the product. The recalled steamer was sold with a silver-colored glove.
