VEVOR Garment Steamers: Burn Hazard
The recall affects VEVOR Garment Steamers designed for wrinkle removal. These steamers are characterized by an oval-shaped steam vent opening and a white body with orange "VEVOR" and "TOUGH TOOLS, HALF PRICE" lettering. A red toggle power switch is located on the handle. The bottom label identifies the product as "VEVOR," "Garment Steamer," "FCL-H09," and lists the manufacturer as "Guangdong ESINO Technology Group Co., Ltd." The recalled units were sold with a silver-colored glove.
Sanven Technology has received six reports of hot water spitting or leaking from the steamers. Additionally, twelve reports detail issues with the water tank cap, including detachment, leaking, failure to stay closed, loose fitting, or melting. These cap problems have led to two burn injuries, one resulting in a permanent scar and a second-degree burn, and another minor burn to a consumer’s hand and fingers. A separate report indicates a minor steam burn through the provided glove.
VEVOR Ice Crushers: Fire Hazard
While details on the specific VEVOR ice crushers involved in the recall are limited in the provided information, Sanven Technology is also recalling these products due to a fire hazard. Consumers who own VEVOR ice crushers should be aware of this potential risk.
Consumer Guidance

Further instructions regarding the recall process, including potential refunds or replacements, can be obtained by contacting Sanven Technology. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) emphasizes that selling products subject to a Commission-ordered or voluntary recall is prohibited by federal law.
