Bissell Recalls 1.7 Million Steam Cleaners Over Burn Risk From Detaching Attachments

The remedy requires disposal proof for free replacement attachments.

Overview

  • The CPSC recall, announced Thursday, covers Bissell’s Steam Shot OmniReach and Omni models after reports that attachments can pop off and spray hot water or steam.
  • Bissell and regulators logged 206 incidents tied to detaching parts and 161 burn injuries, including at least one second-degree burn.
  • Owners are told to stop using the add-on tools and request replacements at steamshot2026.com by uploading photos that show the old attachments thrown away.
  • The recalled accessories include nozzles, brushes, a scraping tool, an angle concentrator, and in some kits a hose, fabric steamer, or squeegee, sold from October 2024 through March 2026 at retailers like Target, Walmart, Amazon, and HSN for about $9 to $55.
  • Health Canada coordinated a parallel recall of about 96,000 units, and the action follows a large 2024 Bissell steamer recall, underscoring ongoing safety concerns with steam-cleaner attachment connections.
