What this CPSC product recall tells you, and what most readers miss
This notice was issued by CPSC on September 17, 2026 and geographically references United States. Its severity classification of "high" signals how the issuing agency weighs the risk of harm if no action is taken - "critical" and "high" tier alerts typically carry direct consumer actions, while "medium" and "low" tend toward informational guidance or monitoring advisories.

What Happened
The recall involves LANCHEZ-branded pressure washers that lack an integral ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI) and an adequate-length power cord, which may encourage use of an extension cord. This poses serious risks of injury or death from shock and electrocution hazards.
Which Products Are Affected
This recall involves LANCHEZ-branded pressure washers. The recalled 3.2 GPM electric pressure washers were sold in blue-and-black or red-and-black, and measure about 12.2 inches deep, 16.9 inches wide and 16.5 inches high. The pressure washers came with a 500 ml soap tank, four quick disconnect nozzles and a 23-foot hose. Only power washers without a GFCI or adequate-length power cord are included in this recall. “LANCHEZ” is printed on the front of the power washer and model number “KLC-BULL135C” is printed on a label on top of the unit near the handle. A total of 329 units were sold online at Amazon.com, Walmart.com and Temu.com from February 2026 through June 2026 for between $88 and $266. The importer is Ningbo Lanchez E-Commerce Co., Ltd. of China.

Consumers should stop using the recalled pressure washers immediately and contact LANCHEZ for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to unplug the pressure washer, destroy it by cutting the power cord in half and send a photo of the destroyed power washer, showing the model number, to service@lanchezpumps.com.
