March 19, 2026: Wagner Recalls 900 Series Power Steamers

The recall notice, issued March 19, 2026, said Wagner recalled about 700,000 U.S. units, citing a hose and nozzle burn hazard [2]. The CPSC and Health Canada covered about 8,000 more units in Canada [3]. The recall followed 156 incidents and more than 50 burn injuries reported to Wagner. The company is offering a free repair kit to affected owners.

Which Wagner Power Steamers Are Affected?

The recall covers three Wagner 900 Series Power Steamer models, identified by these model numbers and markings:

• 905e Auto Steamer, marked “905e” on the yellow and black boiler base
• 915e On-Demand Power Steamer, marked “915e” on the same yellow and black base
• 925e Steam Machine Elite Steamer, marked “925e” on the same yellow and black base

About 700,000 of these steamers were sold in the United States, and about 8,000 more were sold in Canada. Wagner sold all three models under these names during the recall period. All three models share the same hose and trigger-operated nozzle that caused this recall. The model number on the base is the fastest way to confirm a match.

Why Were Wagner Power Steamers Recalled?

Wagner Power Steamers were recalled because the hose can get excessively hot during normal use. The nozzle can also expel hot water while the trigger is pressed and right after it is released. Both problems create a burn hazard for the person holding the steamer. Wagner’s press release announcing the recall said it received reports of burns tied to this defect [4]. The company has not said what caused the hose or nozzle to fail. Consumers should treat this as an ongoing safety issue until the repair kit is installed. The hazard affects all three recalled models in the same way, since they share the same hose and trigger design.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

Wagner has received reports of at least 156 incidents involving these steamers. More than 50 of those reports involved burn injuries. Reported burns affected the arms, hands, feet, and face. Many were first- or second-degree burns, according to the recall notice. These figures come from incident reports Wagner has received from consumers. Reports like these describe what a consumer experienced with the steamer’s hose or nozzle, not confirmed proof every incident happened the same way. Wagner and the CPSC received these reports before the March 19, 2026 recall announcement. These reports span the full sale period, from November 2018 to March 2026.

What Should Consumers Do?

Anyone who owns a recalled Wagner Power Steamer should take the following steps:

1. Stop using the recalled steamer right away, since the hose and nozzle can still cause burns during normal operation, even without warning.
2. Confirm the model number, 905e, 915e or 925e, printed on the boiler base to check whether your steamer is covered.
3. Contact Wagner toll-free at 800-962-6118 (9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday), by email at us-wagnerrecall@wagner-group.com, or at wagnerspraytech.com/900-series-recall to request a free repair kit.
4. Report an incident to the CPSC through SaferProducts.gov or its hotline, 800-638-2772 (TTY 800-638-8270), if you were burned or experienced hot water contact.

Legal Options

Several people have sued Wagner Spray Tech Corp. over these steamers. They say the free repair kit will not stop the hose or nozzle from failing again. Courts combined several of these cases into one lawsuit in Minnesota. A judge has named counsel for the plaintiffs. A recall does not automatically prove the company is at fault or that you can get paid.

Filing Deadlines

Deadlines for filing an injury claim come from state law, not from this recall itself. Where you live and when the burns happened can affect the time you have. A missed deadline can end a claim even with strong evidence behind it. Anyone thinking about a claim over a Wagner steamer burn should check with a lawyer soon.
