2026-04-30 – A consumer reported a burn hazard involving the Wagner 900 Series Power Steamers Model 905e Auto Steamer, manufactured by Wagner Corporation. According to a publicly filed incident report on the CPSC SaferProducts.gov database, the product's hose became excessively hot and the gun expelled hot water, resulting in a first-aid treated injury. Product DetailsBrand Name: Wagner Incident OverviewOn April 1, 2026, a consumer using a Wagner 900 Series Power Steamer Model 905e Auto Steamer reported that the unit’s hose became dangerously hot during operation. As the consumer continued to use the steamer, the gun component expelled hot water, creating an immediate burn hazard. The incident required first aid administered by a non-medical professional, according to the report filed with the CPSC (Report ID 5997611). The reporter stated that the hose overheating and the subsequent expulsion of hot water were the primary safety failures. The product was purchased from Amazon and used as intended for steaming applications. No additional details about prior issues or product condition were provided in the narrative. The severity of the injury was classified as requiring first aid, indicating a non-life-threatening but still painful burn. Safety ConcernsImmediate Dangers: The most immediate risk is that the hose can overheat to the point of causing burns upon contact, and the gun can unexpectedly discharge hot water, leading to scalding injuries. The combination of high heat and pressurized hot water increases the severity of burns. Who Might Be Affected: The primary person at risk is the user handling the steamer. However, bystanders, especially children or pets, could also be burned if they come into contact with the hot hose or are struck by expelled hot water. Warning Signs: Users may notice the hose becoming unusually hot to the touch, or the gun may sputter or leak hot water before a full expulsion. Any abnormal heat or moisture should be treated as a warning that the device may be malfunctioning. Environmental Triggers: Continuous use without adequate cool-down periods may exacerbate hose overheating. Additionally, operating the steamer at high pressure or with a clogged nozzle could increase the likelihood of hot water expulsion. What Our Clients SayWhat Consumers Should DoStop Using Immediately: If your Wagner 900 Series Power Steamer Model 905e Auto Steamer exhibits a hot hose or expels hot water, stop using it right away to prevent injury. Unplug the Device: Disconnect the steamer from the power source and allow it to cool completely before handling. Preserve the Product: Keep the steamer, hose, gun, and any packaging or receipts in their current condition. Do not attempt to repair or modify the unit, as this could affect future investigation. Document the Incident: Take photos of the product, especially the hose and gun, and write down the date, time, and details of what occurred. Save any related medical records if treatment was received. Report to the CPSC: File a report on SaferProducts.gov if you experience a similar issue. Include details about the hose overheating and hot water expulsion. Check for Recalls: Visit CPSC.gov to see if Wagner has issued any recalls or safety notices for this model.
