Bissell is voluntarily recalling 3.2 million Steam Shot-style handheld steam cleaners after receiving 183 reports of injuries, most of them minor burn incidents. In a release on the Consumer Product Safety Commission's website, Bissell said the affected products 'can expel hot water or steam onto users while heating or during use, posing a burn hazard.' The products are sold throughout the U.S. and in Canada in Target and Walmart stores, as well as Amazon and other retailers.

The units are sold in the model series 39N7 and 2994, with “STEAM SHOT” or “POWER STEAMER” printed on the side of the product. The model numbers are printed on the product rating label located on the bottom of the unit. Consumers should stop using the recalled steam cleaners, and reach out to Bissell to receive either a $60 credit to be used toward a Bissell.com purchase, or a $40 refund for each of the recalled steam cleaners. Consumers should also visit www.bissell.
