WASHINGTON — Vornado is recalling 2 million handheld garment steamers because they pose a serious burn hazard to consumers, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Thursday.
The recall includes Steamfast, Vornado and Sharper Image-branded handheld garment steamers, the commission said on its website.
“The recalled garment steamers can expel hot water from the steam nozzle while heating or during use, posing a serious burn hazard to consumers,” the commission said.
