What Is Being Recalled?
BISSELL Homecare Inc., of Grand Rapids, Michigan, is recalling about 1.7 million Steam Shot OmniReach and Steam Shot Omni handheld steam cleaners with attachments in the United States, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). About 96,000 additional units were sold in Canada. The recall, announced April 9, 2026, covers model numbers 4155, 4155L, 4155W, 4155G, 4155D, 4155J, 4155Y, 4155P, 4171, 4171L, 4171W, and 4171F.Depending on the model, the affected attachments include an accessory nozzle, grout brush, round detail brushes, a flat scraping tool, and an angle concentrator tool. The steam cleaners were sold at Target, Walmart, and other department and home goods stores nationwide, and online at BISSELL.com, Amazon, HSN.com, and other websites, from October 2024 through March 2026 for between $9 and $55. The units were manufactured in China.
Why Are the Steam Shot Attachments Dangerous?
According to the CPSC recall notice, the attachments can unexpectedly detach from the steam cleaner during use and expel hot water or steam onto the user, posing a serious burn hazard. BISSELL has received 206 reports of hot water or steam unexpectedly escaping from the steam cleaners' attachments, including 161 reports of burn injuries — one of them a second-degree burn.Handheld steamers have a history of hot-water burn recalls. BISSELL recalled more than 3 million earlier-generation Steam Shot steam cleaners in 2024 for a similar hazard, and other brands have faced the same problem — see our coverage of the My Little Steamer recall and class action settlement and the Black + Decker garment steamer recall.
Who Is Affected by the BISSELL Recall?
You are covered by the recall if you own a Steam Shot OmniReach or Steam Shot Omni handheld steam cleaner with one of the listed model numbers. The model number is printed on the product's rating label. If you have one of these units, the CPSC says you should stop using the steam cleaner's attachments immediately. You do not need a receipt to participate, and the remedy is the same no matter where you bought the steamer.How Do I Get My Free Replacement Attachments?
BISSELL is handling the recall through a dedicated registration site. There is no cost to participate:• Stop using the recalled attachments immediately
• Register at the official BISSELL Steam Shot recall site
• Follow the instructions to verify your model and upload a photo showing the original attachments have been disposed of in the trash
• BISSELL will send free replacement attachments
BISSELL also maintains a Steam Shot safety recall support page with model-identification help and answers to common questions about the process.
Could There Be a BISSELL Class Action Lawsuit?
Recalls involving large numbers of burn injuries often draw class action and personal-injury investigations, and several law firms have publicized investigations into Steam Shot burn injuries. No class action complaint had been publicly confirmed as of this writing. If a lawsuit is filed — for example, on behalf of consumers who suffered burns — this page will be updated. For now, the recall remedy (free replacement attachments) is the official path for affected owners.Frequently Asked Questions
