Incident Overview

On April 1, 2023, a consumer was using a Dupray steam cleaner when the device began spraying super hot water from the wand. According to the incident report filed with the CPSC, the hot water sprayed all around the unit during normal operation. The consumer noted that the product had been recalled previously. The severity of the incident required first aid administered by a non-medical professional.

Safety Concerns

Immediate Dangers: When a steam cleaner's wand sprays scalding water instead of steam, users and bystanders are at immediate risk of burns. The hot water can cause first-degree or second-degree burns on contact, especially on sensitive skin areas like the face and hands.

Who Might Be Affected: The primary user operating the wand is most vulnerable, but the spray pattern described — "all around the unit" — means that anyone nearby, including children or pets, could be struck by hot water.

Environmental Triggers: The risk may increase if the unit's internal pressure regulation fails, allowing water to heat beyond the intended steam temperature. Using the device in confined spaces or near electrical outlets could also compound the danger.

Warning Signs: Consumers might notice sputtering, unusual steam bursts, or water leaking from the wand before a full spray event. Any deviation from normal steam output should be treated as a warning.

What Our Clients Say

What Consumers Should Do

Stop Using Immediately: If your Dupray steam cleaner sprays hot water or behaves erratically, unplug it and discontinue use right away.

Do Not Attempt Repairs: Opening the unit or tampering with pressure components could increase the risk of injury or void any recall remedy.

Preserve the Product: Keep the steamer, its packaging, and any receipts or documentation. This evidence is important for verifying the model and date of purchase.

Document the Incident: Take photos of the unit, the area where the incident occurred, and any injuries. Write down the date, time, and details of what happened.

Seek Medical Attention: For any burn, even if it seems minor, have it evaluated by a medical professional to prevent infection and document the injury.
