What Happened
The recalled electric pressure washers lack a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) and the power cord is too short which may encourage the use of an extension cord, posing a risk of an electric shock hazard. As of August 14, 2026, the company has received no reports of incident or injury in Canada or in the United States.
