Key Takeaways
- VEVOR ice crushers are recalled due to a fire hazard.
- VEVOR garment steamers are recalled because of a risk of serious burns from hot water spitting, leaking, or a faulty water tank cap.
- Consumers should cease using the affected products and seek further instructions.
Ice Crushers Pose Fire Risk
Sanven Technology’s VEVOR ice crushers have been identified as a fire hazard. While specific details regarding the nature of the fire risk were not provided in the recall notices, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has flagged this issue, necessitating the recall to protect consumers from potential property damage and injury.
Garment Steamers Present Burn Hazard
The recall for VEVOR garment steamers addresses a more detailed set of safety issues, primarily centered around the risk of serious burns. The recalled steamers, identified by specific model details and branding, have been linked to incidents where hot water unexpectedly spits, pours, leaks, or drips from the unit. Furthermore, the water tank cap has been reported to detach, leak, not stay closed, fit loosely, or even melt. These malfunctions have led to multiple burn injuries, including a severe burn resulting in a permanent scar and a second-degree burn, as well as minor burns on hands and fingers. One incident also involved a minor steam burn through the provided glove.
Consumer Action and Recall Information
Consumers who have purchased the affected VEVOR ice crushers or garment steamers are strongly advised to discontinue their use immediately. Federal law prohibits the sale of products subject to a Commission-ordered or voluntary recall. Sanven Technology, in cooperation with the CPSC, is providing instructions for consumers on how to proceed with the recall, which typically involves returning the product for a refund or replacement. Further details on the recall process and specific product identification can be found through official CPSC channels.
