Latest Workbless Pressure Washer Recall and Safety Developments
August 2026
- August 27, 2026 – CPSC announced a separate recall of YERYORK electric pressure washers because they also lack an integral GFCI and have an inadequate-length power cord. The action involves another brand and provides current pressure-washer safety context rather than a Workbless-specific finding [1]
- August 20, 2026 – CPSC recalled about 2,200 Workbless pressure washers because they lack an integral ground-fault circuit interrupter and have an inadequate-length power cord, creating serious risks of shock and electrocution [2]
- August 20, 2026 – CPSC instructed consumers to immediately stop using recalled Workbless pressure washers and contact the company for a full refund. No incidents or injuries had been reported at the time of the recall [2]
- August 20, 2026 – The recall remedy requires owners to unplug the pressure washer, cut the power cord in half, submit a photograph of the destroyed product to Workbless, and then dispose of the unit [2]
April 2026
- April 30, 2026 – CPSC recalled DGIVOVO US electric pressure washers because they lacked an integral GFCI and posed serious shock and electrocution hazards. That recall involved another manufacturer and should not be treated as a Workbless incident [3]
What Is the Workbless Pressure Washer Recall?
The recall involves Workbless-branded electric pressure washers manufactured in China and sold in the United States from April 2025 through July 2026.
CPSC identifies two affected models: WB0301 and WB0302. Both products are green and black and came with four quick-connect nozzles and a foam cannon.
The recall number is 26-715.
Which Workbless Models Are Recalled?
Model WB0301 measures approximately 27.24 inches high, 10.83 inches wide, and 8.39 inches deep.
The back label includes the Workbless brand name, model number WB0301, and the words “Electric Pressure Washer.”
Model WB0302 measures approximately 29.57 inches high, 14.69 inches wide, and 10.94 inches deep. Its label identifies it as WB0302 and a “Heavy Duty Electric Pressure Washer” [2]
What Is Wrong With the Recalled Workbless Pressure Washers?
CPSC says the recalled pressure washers lack an integral ground-fault circuit interrupter, commonly called a GFCI.
The products also have an inadequate-length power cord. CPSC says those conditions create serious risks of shock and electrocution.
Electric pressure washers are commonly used around water, wet pavement, hoses, and outdoor electrical connections, making electrical protection especially important.
What Does a GFCI Do?
A GFCI is designed to detect an abnormal flow of electrical current and interrupt power rapidly when a fault occurs.
That type of protection is particularly important where electrical equipment may be used around water or damp surfaces.
The Workbless recall specifically identifies the absence of an integral GFCI as part of the safety hazard.
Why Can a Short Power Cord Increase the Risk?
CPSC also identifies inadequate power-cord length as part of the Workbless recall hazard.
A short cord may place electrical connections closer to wet surfaces or encourage consumers to use extension cords in environments where water is present.
The exact electrical configuration involved in an accident should be preserved and documented rather than altered after the incident when safe to do so.
Where Were the Recalled Pressure Washers Sold?
CPSC says Workbless pressure washers were sold through Amazon.com, Best Buy, Kohl’s, Lowe’s, Overstock, Target, and Walmart.
Sales occurred from April 2025 through July 2026 for approximately $97 to $140.
Retailer account histories, email confirmations, receipts, credit-card records, product photographs, and labels may help establish ownership of an affected unit.
Who Is Identified as the Private Labeler?
CPSC identifies Guangzhou Ao Lian Ya Wang Luo Ke Ji You Xian Gong Si, doing business as Workbless, of China, as the private labeler.
The pressure washers were manufactured in China.
Manufacturer, private-label, distributor, and retailer information may become relevant if an electrical incident causes an injury.
Have Any Workbless Incidents or Injuries Been Reported?
No incidents or injuries were reported to CPSC when the recall was announced.
The recall nevertheless describes the potential outcome as serious injury or death from shock and electrocution.
If a consumer experienced a shock, electrical burn, fall, or other event involving one of these units, the product condition and electrical setup may be important evidence.
What Should Consumers Do With a Recalled Workbless Pressure Washer?
Consumers should stop using recalled Workbless pressure washers immediately.
Workbless is offering a full refund. Consumers will be asked to unplug the unit, cut the power cord in half, and send a photograph showing the destroyed pressure washer to the company.
The destroyed product should then be disposed of according to the recall instructions.
Why Should Injured Consumers Document the Product Before Destruction?
CPSC’s refund procedure calls for destruction of the recalled pressure washer, but an injured consumer may also need evidence showing the model, electrical condition, cord, plug, surrounding area, and damage.
Before cutting the cord, consumers who experienced an incident may wish to photograph the front, back label, plug, cord, electrical connections, accessories, and surrounding location when safe to do so.
Evidence preservation can be important when determining whether the recalled condition contributed to an injury.
Have Similar Pressure Washers Been Recalled?
Yes. CPSC has announced several 2026 recalls and warnings involving electric pressure washers that lack GFCI protection.
DGIVOVO US recalled model C4012PLUS-1500C in April 2026 because the washer lacked an integral GFCI. CPSC reported no incidents or injuries in that recall [3]
CPSC also warned consumers in April 2026 to stop using SEN-QII pressure washers because they lacked an integrated GFCI and posed serious shock and electrocution hazards [4]
What Injuries Can Electrical Shock Cause?
Electrical incidents can cause burns, muscle injuries, falls, cardiac complications, neurological injury, or other trauma depending on the current path and exposure circumstances.
Severe electrical events can require emergency treatment, hospitalization, specialist care, rehabilitation, or ongoing medical monitoring.
The nature and cause of an individual injury should be established through medical records and incident evidence rather than assumed from the recall alone.
Who May Be Affected?
Potentially affected people include owners and users of Workbless models WB0301 and WB0302.
Family members, workers, contractors, guests, or bystanders may also be exposed if an electrical fault energizes equipment or creates another dangerous condition.
Consumers should stop using affected units even if they have not experienced a shock or other malfunction.
Who May Be Liable?
Potentially responsible parties may include a manufacturer, private labeler, importer, distributor, retailer, component supplier, or another entity involved in placing the pressure washer into commerce.
Potential claims may involve defective design, manufacturing defects, inadequate warnings, negligence, breach of warranty, or other legal theories available under applicable law.
A recall does not automatically establish liability in every case. Product identity, electrical defect evidence, causation, injuries, damages, and governing law must be evaluated individually.
What Is the Current Workbless Pressure Washer Legal Status?
The cited public sources establish an active CPSC recall involving Workbless models WB0301 and WB0302 because of shock and electrocution hazards.
The recall itself is not a court judgment, class certification, settlement, or finding of civil liability.
A consumer who suffered a documented injury involving an affected pressure washer may nevertheless have an individual claim that warrants legal review.
Do I Qualify?
- Did you own or use a recalled Workbless WB0301 or WB0302 electric pressure washer?
- Did you experience electrical shock, a burn, loss of muscle control, a fall, or another incident while using the product?
- Did the incident require medical treatment, emergency care, hospitalization, or cause other documented losses?
- Do you have the pressure washer, model label, cord, plug, purchase records, photographs, medical records, or recall communications?
An individualized legal review can determine whether product identification, electrical defect evidence, causation, damages, potential defendants, and filing deadlines support a claim.
What Evidence Should I Preserve?
Preserve photographs of the Workbless pressure washer, model label, power cord, plug, electrical outlet, extension cord if one was used, hose, surrounding wet area, and any visible damage.
Save receipts, retailer order histories, recall notices, medical records, emergency reports, witness information, property-damage records, and communications with Workbless.
If no injury occurred, follow the official refund and destruction instructions. If an injury occurred, documenting the product before destruction may help preserve relevant evidence.
