Workbless Pressure Washers Recalled Over Shock and Electrocution Risk, Here’s How to Get Your Refund

If you bought a green-and-black Workbless electric pressure washer in the last year and a half, check the model number before you use it again. The CPSC recalled about 2,200 units in the U.S. because they’re missing a safety feature that’s supposed to stop exactly this kind of hazard — a ground-fault circuit interrupter. Without it, the pressure washer poses a serious risk of shock or electrocution. Here’s how to check your unit and get a full refund.

Why Workbless Recalled These Pressure Washers

A ground-fault circuit interrupter, or GFCI, is the piece of hardware that’s supposed to cut power the instant it detects current leaking somewhere it shouldn’t — like through water, or through you. It’s a standard safety feature on outdoor electrical tools for exactly that reason: pressure washers combine water, electricity, and bare hands in a way few other household tools do. The recalled Workbless units don’t have an integral GFCI built in. On top of that, the power cord is short enough that CPSC says it may push people toward using an extension cord — which introduces more connection points and more opportunity for a fault, without the GFCI there to catch it.

Two safety layers missing at once is what moved this from a design complaint to a federal recall. Workbless isn’t alone here — CPSC issued nearly identical recalls for SUGIFT and COMMOWNER pressure washers around the same time, describing the same missing GFCI protection in the same terms.

Is Your Pressure Washer Part of This Recall?

Here’s exactly how to know if this recall includes you.

• Model WB0301: green and black, about 27.24 inches high, 10.83 inches wide, and 8.39 inches deep, with “WORKBLESS,” “WB0301,” and “ELECTRIC PRESSURE WASHER” printed on a label on the back
• Model WB0302: green and black, about 29.57 inches high, 14.69 inches wide, and 10.94 inches deep, with “WORKBLESS,” “WB0302,” and “HEAVY DUTY ELECTRIC PRESSURE WASHER” printed on a label on the back
• Both models came with four quick-connect nozzles and a foam cannon
• Anyone who bought either model from Amazon, Best Buy, Kohl’s, Lowe’s, Overstock, Target, or Walmart between April 2025 and July 2026
• Other pressure washer brands are not covered by this specific recall, even if purchased from the same retailers around the same time

Workbless Recall — Nationwide and Canada Coverage

This is a federal recall coordinated between CPSC and Health Canada, so it applies across the U.S. and to the roughly 657 units sold in Canada as well. It doesn’t matter which of the seven retailers you bought yours from — the defect is in the unit itself, not the point of sale.

What Should You Do Right Now?

1. Stop using the pressure washer immediately — don’t wait until you’re done with your current project.
2. Check the label on the back of the unit for “WORKBLESS” and either “WB0301” or “WB0302.”
3. Unplug the unit and store it out of reach of children and others until you complete the recall process.
4. Contact Workbless at [email protected], by phone at 833-725-3151 (9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT, Monday through Friday), or online at workbless.net/recall to start your refund.
5. Take a clear photo of the model label, then unplug the power cord, cut it in half, and photograph the destroyed unit.
6. Send the photos to [email protected] as instructed, then dispose of the destroyed unit through your local e-waste program. Do not resell, donate, or give the unit away — federal law prohibits reselling a product under an active CPSC recall.

Takes about 15 minutes to photograph and cut the cord — worth doing today rather than leaving a shock hazard sitting in the garage.

Workbless Pressure Washer Recall — Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my pressure washer is part of the Workbless recall? 

Check the label on the back of the unit for “WORKBLESS” and either model number WB0301 or WB0302. Both are green and black and came with four quick-connect nozzles and a foam cannon.

What’s actually wrong with the recalled pressure washers?

 They lack an integral ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI), a safety feature that cuts power when it detects a current leak. The power cord is also short enough that CPSC says it may encourage using an extension cord, adding more risk without the GFCI protection to catch a fault.

Has anyone been hurt by these pressure washers? 

No injuries or incidents have been reported as of the recall announcement.

How do I get my refund? 

Contact Workbless by email, phone, or through their recall website, then follow their process: photograph the model label, cut the unplugged power cord in half, photograph the destroyed unit, and send both photos to [email protected] before disposing of it.

Can I just sell or give away my recalled pressure washer instead? 

No. Federal law prohibits selling any product subject to a CPSC recall, whether through a resale app, a yard sale, or handing it to a neighbor. Destroying and reporting the unit is the required step.

Are other pressure washer brands affected by this same issue?

 CPSC issued separate but nearly identical recalls around the same time for SUGIFT and COMMOWNER pressure washers, both citing missing GFCI protection. Check the specific brand and model of your unit against each individual recall notice.
