Detailed Recall Information

The recall was initiated after investigations revealed that the steam cleaner’s boiler can rupture if it is overfilled or if internal corrosion occurs simultaneously with a malfunction of the pressure release valve (the boiler cap). A rupture can cause the unit to expel boiling water or steam at high pressure, or even cause the plastic housing to fragment.

Incident Reports and Injuries:

As of the recall date, Dupray has received 15 reports of boiler ruptures. These incidents resulted in:

  • Four reports of injuries, including minor burns, bruises, lacerations, and one broken wrist.
  • At least seven reports of property damage.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is overseeing the recall (Recall number 26-283) in coordination with Health Canada. The affected units were manufactured in China and sold between April 2018 and December 2025 for approximately $150 at major retailers, including Amazon, Walmart, Home Depot, Lowe’s, and Macy’s.
