Wagner Power Steamers Recalled After 50+ Burn Injuries Reported
In March 2026, Wagner Spray Tech voluntarily recalled approximately 700,000 Wagner 900 Series power steamers after dozens of people were burned.
Wagner reported at least 156 incidents involving the hose getting too hot or the nozzle expelling hot water. Those reports include over 50 burn injuries to consumers’ arms, hands, feet, and face, many resulting in first- or second-degree burns.
The recall also covers approximately 8,000 units sold in Canada. The recall was announced in cooperation with the CPSC under recall number 26-328.
What Is the Problem?
Wagner Spray Tech describes the defect on its own recall page as follows:
“This recall includes the 905e Auto Steamer, 915e On-Demand Power Steamer, and 925e Steam Machine Elite Steamer. Wagner is recalling these products because the attached hose can get excessively hot and the nozzle/gun may expel hot water during use and after the trigger is engaged, posing a serious burn hazard to consumers.”
How Many People Were Burned?
According to the CPSC, Wagner received at least 156 reports of incidents linked to the recalled steamers. Those reports include:
- Over 50 reported burn injuries nationally
- Burns to the arms, hands, feet, and face
- Many injuries resulting in 1st- or 2nd-degree burns
First- and second-degree burns can cause significant pain, blistering, scarring, and may require medical treatment including wound care or ongoing therapy. Burns to the face and hands are especially serious given their visibility and impact on daily function.
Official incident counts reported to the CPSC typically under-represent the full number of people harmed. Many consumers never report burn injuries to the manufacturer or to federal regulators, meaning the actual number of people hurt by this product may be higher than what the official recall notice reflects.
How To Identify the Recalled Steamers
The recall covers 3 models of the Wagner 900 Series. All share the same yellow and black pressurized boiler base with “Wagner” written on the sides, a clear accessory storage compartment, handle, wheels, an 8-foot black steam hose, and a nozzle with a trigger. The model number may appear on the sides of the product.

What Should I Do?

- Handle Cover — protects against handle and nozzle temperatures during use
- Fill-Rite Funnel — protects against overfilling the steamer base with water
Wagner notes that due to high demand, repair kits are currently shipping within 2 to 3 weeks. Consumers can request a kit online at wagnerspraytech.com/900-series-recall, by calling 800-962-6118 Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET, or by emailing us-wagnerrecall@wagner-group.com.
If you were already burned before learning about this recall, accepting the repair kit does not affect your right to pursue a legal claim. Consumers who suffered burn injuries should consider speaking with a product liability attorney to learn more.
