The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Sanven Technology is recalling VEVOR garment steamers after reports that the units can leak or spit hot water and that the water tank cap can leak or detach.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Sanven Technology is recalling VEVOR garment steamers because the units can leak or spit hot water and the water tank cap can leak or detach during use, creating a burn hazard.

The CPSC said the product has been linked to burn injuries and to reports of hot water escaping from the steamer. Consumers are being told to stop using the recalled units immediately and seek a full refund.

According to the CPSC notice, the recalled product is a VEVOR garment steamer used to remove wrinkles from clothing and textiles. The steamer has an oval-shaped opening for the steam vents, a white body with orange VEVOR and “TOUGH TOOLS, HALF PRICE” branding, and a red toggle power switch on the handle. The bottom label lists VEVOR, Garment Steamer, FCL-H09, and Manufacturer: Guangdong ESINO Technology Group Co., Ltd. The recalled product was sold with a silver-colored glove.

Sanven Technology received six reports of hot water spitting, pouring out, leaking or dripping from the steamers, the CPSC said. The company also received 12 reports involving the water tank cap detaching, leaking, not staying closed, fitting loosely or melting.

Those cap problems led to two burn injuries, including one permanent scar and second-degree burn, and one minor burn to a hand and fingers, according to the recall notice. The company also received one report of a minor steam burn through the provided glove.

To receive a refund, consumers must contact Sanven Technology, provide contact information and send a photo of the steamer with its unplugged cut power cord, the notice said. The company can be reached at 855-599-6320 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday or by email at recalling@vevor.com. Recall information is posted at vevor.com/pages/vevor-steamer-recall and through the VEVOR website’s Product Recall link.

The CPSC notice also includes standard guidance telling consumers to report cases in which a recall remedy is not provided through a CPSC form.
