QIOMALA Pressure Washers Recalled Due to Serious Risk of Injury or Death from Shock and Electrocution Hazards
Reported by CPSC · November 12 at 12:00 AM · Summary by Dew & Balm
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has recalled QIOMALA-branded HWT12P electric pressure washers, sold in green and blue with black, because they lack an adequate-length power cord. That can encourage use of an extension cord, creating a serious risk of shock and electrocution. Owners are asked to stop using them and contact QIOMALA for a full refund.
Background
Short power cords often lead people to plug in with extension cords, which can overheat or fail, especially outdoors near water. A recall in this context usually means the product was found to violate safety requirements or pose an unreasonable risk, and sellers are required to stop sales and notify buyers. Federal law also bars selling products under a recall.
Why it matters
Pressure washers are used outdoors near water and wet surfaces, where a poor power setup can cause a dangerous shock.
What you can do
Check the back of the unit near the power cord for the model number HWT12P, and stop using it if it matches. Contact QIOMALA at the email address in the recall notice to arrange a refund.
