What happened

Tristar Products Inc. has recalled a revised design steam cleaner due to a burn hazard.

The product includes a 5.5-foot steam hose connected to a water reservoir and comes with various cleaning attachments.

This recall applies only to the revised design steam buggys and does not include units from an earlier March 2002 recall. According to the recall record, consumers who experience a burst hose should stop using the steam cleaner and contact Tristar for information on how to return the product for a replacement or refund.
