About two million Black & Decker-branded clothing steamers are now under recall, Thursday, April 4, 2024, after consumers reported dozens of burn injuries that resulted from hot water spewing out of the products.
Nearly 520,000 of these steamers were recalled back in November 2022. At the time, a repair remedy was offered — but there have been continued reports of burn injuries involving the repaired units since, the CPSC said. Empower Brands is now recalling another 1.6 million steamers to cover all units of the model, including those that were previously repaired, and offering full refunds instead.
