Latest News & Updates
May 2026
The CPSC announced Giantex’s recall of Giantex and Costway 2-liter and 3-liter Portable Steam Saunas because the steam diffuser can be positioned too close to a consumer’s body, allowing hot steam to contact the user and create a burn hazard. Consumers were instructed to stop using the recalled saunas immediately and contact Giantex for a full refund [1].
What Is the Giantex Steam Sauna?
The recalled products are Giantex and Costway branded portable steam saunas. They were sold as sets that include a folding chair, foot roller, felt mat, remote control, steam unit, tubing, and a fabric enclosure with an opening for the user’s head.
The enclosures were sold in black, copper, beige, blue, green, and pink, with either “Giantex” or “Costway” printed on the front. Affected model numbers include BA7635US-BK, BA7635US-CF, BA7635US-GR, BA7635US-NY, BA7733US-BK, BA7733US-CF, BA7733US-GR, BA7733US-PI, BA7579US-BK, BA7579US-CF, and BA7579US-GR.
Reported Risks or Injuries
- Steam burns to the legs, feet, arms, or other extremities
- Second-degree burns
- Pain, blistering, scarring, or skin discoloration
- Emergency treatment, wound care, or infection risk in more serious cases
How Does the Problem Occur?
The burn hazard occurs when the sauna’s steam diffuser is positioned too close to the user’s body. Hot steam can then directly contact skin inside the enclosure, causing burns before the user can move away or shut off the product.
Because portable steam saunas surround the body while the head remains outside, users may not immediately see where the steam diffuser is positioned. This can make it harder to recognize the danger before a burn occurs.
