Major Bissell Recall Impacts Millions Including Michigan Homes

If you have gotten one of those steam cleaners sitting under your sink in Michigan, you might want to take it out and give it a look over.

What Products Are Being Recalled

A major recall just dropped involving Bissell, the company based in Grand Rapids, and it is a pretty big one, too. Nearly 2 million handheld steam cleaners are being pulled due to a serious burn risk.

Why These Steam Cleaners Are Dangerous

The recall is targeted towards the Steam Shot Omni and OmniReach models, and the issue isn't a minor one. Attachments can easily pop off while using them, which will unexpectedly shoot out hot water or steam.

How Many People Have Been Hurt

Nearly 200 reported incidents have already happened, related back to the product, as well as 161 burn injuries, with at least one person getting second-degree burns.

There is some good news here. They're offering fixes. You can contact Bissell directly and get parts or go through the recall process.

You can return the product as well for a refund.
