The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in conjunction with Health Canada, has announced a recall of approximately 1.7 million BISSELL Steam Shot OmniReach and Steam Shot Omni handheld steam cleaners (plus about 96,000 units sold in Canada). The recalled products, model numbers 4155, 4155L, 4155W, 4155G, 4155D, 4155J, 4155Y, 4155P, 4171, 4171L, 4171W, and 4171F, were sold in green, gray, white, blue, and dark blue colors with gray attachments and hoses. Depending on the model, they include various accessories such as an accessory nozzle, grout brush, round detail brushes, flat scraping tool, angle concentrator tool, extension hose, fabric steamer, and steam squeegee. The model number can be found on the product rating label on the bottom of the unit.

The hazard is that the attachments can unexpectedly detach during use, causing hot water or steam to be expelled onto users and posing a serious burn risk. BISSELL has received 206 reports of hot water or steam escaping, including 161 burn injuries, one of which was a second-degree burn.

The steam cleaners were sold at Target, Walmart, and other department and home goods stores nationwide, as well as online at BISSELL.com, Amazon.com, HSN.com, and other websites from October 2024 through March 2026 for $9 to $55. They were manufactured in China and imported by BISSELL Homecare Inc. of Grand Rapids, Michigan. The recall was issued on April 9, 2026.

As a remedy, consumers should immediately stop using the attachments and contact BISSELL for free replacement attachments. To participate, visit www.steamshot2026.com to register, follow the instructions, and upload a photo showing that the original attachments have been disposed of in the trash. Consumers can also call BISSELL toll-free at 855-417-7001 (9 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET, Monday through Saturday) or email [email protected].
