The CPSC recall notice says the steam cleaners' attachments can unexpectedly detach from the unit and expel hot water or steam onto users during use. This presents a serious burn hazard.

Bissell has received over 200 reports of hot water or steam ejecting from attachments. In these reports, it was noted that 161 of them resulted in burn injuries. One burn was reported to be a second-degree burn.
