Latest Vevor Steamer Recall Updates

January 20, 2026: Health Canada Posts Its Recall

Health Canada posted its recall of the VEVOR garment steamer on January 20, 2026 [1]. The recall covers models FCL-H09 and ES-H10. Health Canada tells consumers to stop using the steamer and contact VEVOR for a refund. The company reported 65 units sold in Canada from January 2024 to December 2025. As of January 6, 2026, the company had received no reports of injuries or incidents in Canada.

December 11, 2025: CPSC Announces the Recall

CPSC announced Recall No. 26-142 on December 11, 2025 [2]. The recall covers about 2,840 VEVOR Garment Steamers. The remedy is a refund. CPSC lists Sanven Technology Ltd., dba VEVOR, of Rancho Cucamonga, California, as the distributor. The firm received reports of hot water leaks and of problems with the water tank cap. The steamers were manufactured in China.

Which Vevor Steamers Are Affected?

The recalled VEVOR Garment Steamers match these descriptions from CPSC, the company or Health Canada:

• Model FCL-H09, named by CPSC, with VEVOR and Garment Steamer printed on a label on the bottom
• Model ES-H10, named by the company and by Health Canada in their recall notices
• On model FCL-H09, CPSC describes a white steamer body with VEVOR and TOUGH TOOLS, HALF PRICE in orange lettering beneath the water reservoir window
• On the same model, CPSC also describes an oval-shaped steam vent opening and a red toggle power switch on the handle, sold with a silver-colored glove

Compare the label on the bottom of your steamer with both model numbers. CPSC says Vevor.com, Amazon.com and HomeDepot.com sold the recalled steamers online from December 2023 to September 2025 for between about $10 and $33.

Why Were the Vevor Steamers Recalled?

The Vevor Steamers were recalled because hot water can spit or leak from them during use. The water tank cap can also detach or leak during use, exposing users to hot water. The cap problems CPSC lists include a cap that detached, leaked, did not stay closed, fit loosely or melted. The company also states it is carrying out the recall in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC titles its notice as a recall due to risk of serious injury from burn hazard. Health Canada describes the same risk as serious burn injury to both users and bystanders.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

CPSC says the firm received six reports of hot water spitting, pouring out, leaking or dripping from the steamers. The firm also received 12 reports of issues with the water tank cap. CPSC says the reported cap issues resulted in two burn injuries. One consumer received a permanent scar and a second-degree burn from the hot water after the cap suddenly detached. Another consumer received a minor burn on the hand and fingers from leaked water. The firm reported one minor steam burn through the provided glove. These counts are firm-reported, and reports do not prove the steamer caused every incident.

What Should Consumers Do?

Take these steps if you own a recalled VEVOR steamer:

1. Stop using your recalled steamer immediately, because hot water can leak and the tank cap can detach.
2. Unplug the steamer, then destroy it by cutting the power cord with scissors.
3. Register on the company’s recall page, or email recalling@vevor.com. Include your name, PayPal email address, a photo of the VEVOR name and cut cord, and your receipt if you have one.
4. Call Sanven Technology toll-free at 855-599-6320, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, to ask about your full refund.
5. After you receive the refund, discard the destroyed steamer under local requirements, and do not sell or give it away.
6. Report a problem with the steamer at SaferProducts.gov or call the CPSC hotline at 800-638-2772.

Other Recalls, Warnings, or International Actions

Health Canada recall RA-81481 is a separate consumer product recall for the same steamer. Health Canada notes that the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act prohibits recalled products from being redistributed, sold or even given away in Canada.

Legal Options

A recall does not automatically decide who is responsible for an injury. A person burned by a recalled VEVOR steamer may ask a product liability lawyer to review what happened. As of October 1, 2026, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation lists no multidistrict litigation for the recalled VEVOR steamers [3].

Frequently Asked Questions

Is There a Vevor Steamer Recall Lawsuit?

The pending MDL report lists no Vevor steamer recall lawsuit, but it covers only multidistrict litigation. It does not say whether any individual case has been filed over the recalled steamers, so the question stays open.

Can I Get a Refund Without a Receipt?

You can still get a refund without a receipt. After the company verifies your information, you receive a refund of the average sales price, which the company states as $23. With a receipt, the refund is the amount shown on it.

How Long Does a Vevor Steamer Refund Take?

The company says it will arrange a Vevor steamer refund as soon as possible within 15 business days after it receives the photos of the destroyed steamer and your contact information.

Can I Get a Refund Without PayPal?

You can get a Vevor steamer refund without PayPal. Refunds go to a PayPal account, but a consumer who does not use PayPal can ask for a check. Contact Sanven Technology by its toll-free number or by email to arrange it.

Can I Keep Using a Recalled Vevor Steamer?

You should not keep using a recalled Vevor steamer, even if it has caused no problem. Federal law also prohibits any person from selling a product subject to a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with CPSC.

What If the Company Does Not Respond to My Refund Request?

If the company does not respond to your refund request, CPSC runs a recall complaint form for that situation. You can use the form to explain the problem you have with the remedy or the company’s response.
