Questions about the Pressure Washers Recalled Due to Serious Risk of Injury or Death from Shock and Recall 2026
How do I find the lot number on the product?
# Finding the Lot Number The lot number is typically located on a label affixed to the pressure washer. Check these common locations: - **Main body/frame** of the unit - **Back or sides** of the housing - **Near the power cord** connection - **Bottom** of the machine Look for markings that include numbers and/or letters. If you cannot locate it, contact the retailer where you purchased it—they may have records matching your purchase date to the affected lot numbers.
How worried should I be? What does this recall class mean?
# Recall Classification The "unknown" classification means CPSC hasn't formally assigned a danger level yet. However, **you should take this seriously**: the hazard—electrocution and shock—is genuinely dangerous and can be fatal. **What to do:** - Stop using the pressure washer immediately - Check if you own a recalled model (verify brand/model) - Contact the importer for a refund or repair - Use a pressure washer with built-in GFCI protection instead The missing GFCI safety feature is a significant electrical hazard, especially when using the washer outdoors or near water.
