There have been more than 50 reports of burn injuries associated with the product.
Wagner Spray Tech has announced a recall of about 700,000 of its 900 Series Power Steamers in the United States, along with roughly 8,000 units in Canada, due to a burn hazard. The hose on the steamers can become excessively hot during use, and the nozzle or gun can release hot water even after the trigger is released, creating a risk of serious burns (CPSC Recall Notice, No. 26-328 (Mar. 19, 2026)).
Incidents and injuries. Wagner has received at least 156 incident reports, including more than 50 burn injuries involving consumers’ arms, hands, feet, and faces.
Product description. The recall covers the 905e Auto Steamer, 915e On-Demand Power Steamer, and 925e Steam Machine Elite Steamer models. Each model uses the same yellow and black pressurized boiler base with the Wagner brand on the sides and includes a clear accessory compartment, wheels, a handle, an eight foot steam hose, and a trigger operated nozzle.
The steamers were manufactured in China and sold nationwide through major retailers including The Home Depot, Lowe’s, Walmart, Target, HSN, QVC, Amazon, and Wagner’s website from November 2018 through March 2026 for between $130 and $200. The importer is Wagner Spray Tech Corp., of Plymouth, Minnesota.
Remedy. Wagner is advising consumers to stop using the recalled steamers immediately and contact the company for a free repair kit, which includes a hose sleeve, nozzle cover, and funnel.
