What's the My Little Steamer Recall Class Action Settlement?
A class action settlement has been agreed upon after a My Little Steamer national recall that affected nearly 5.5 million people in the United States in 2021.The My Little Steamer class action lawsuit includes claims for alleged violation of consumer protections statutes, breach of warranty, and a claim for unjust enrichment related to safety concerns with portable clothing steamers sold or labeled as "My Little Steamer."
Hot-water burn hazards continue to drive steamer recalls: in April 2026, BISSELL recalled 1.7 million Steam Shot OmniReach and Omni handheld steam cleaners after 161 reported burn injuries.
