Bissell issues major recall in Canada and U.S. after reports of burn injuries
· Toronto Sun
Bissell has announced a recall for nearly 100,000 of its steam cleaner attachments sold in Canada and the United States due to a possible burn hazard.
The company recalled thousands of the parts on Thursday, as Health Canada warned consumers to “immediately stop using the attachments,” which can “unexpectedly detach from the steam cleaners and expel hot water or steam onto users during use, posing a burn hazard.”
