FAQs

1. Do I need to keep the steamer?

2. Can I file if I wasn’t burned?

Possibly—near-miss incidents involving unintended discharge may warrant claims.

3. Does returning/refunding affect my rights?

No—refund acceptance does not waive your right to legal action.

4. Do I need an attorney?

These claims often involve technical defects and medical complexity—legal representation is strongly advised.
