The Consumer Product Safety Commission issued warnings for Le Hao Tool and HOTFINE pressure washers on Thursday, Sept. 10. The machines lack safety protections designed to prevent electric shock and electrocution.
About 3,100 Le Hao Tool pressure washers were originally recalled in April. The pressure washers lack an integrated immersion protection device on or near the power plug, also known as a Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI).
Le Hao Tool "has since stopped honoring its obligations under that recall," according to the CPSC.
"Additionally, in some instances, consumers have reported that Le Hao Tool has offered them an unauthorized replacement remedy," the agency said. "CPSC has not approved or assessed the safety of any replacement recall remedies and urges consumers not to use any replacement product they may have been offered."
The Le Hao Tool pressure washers were sold in green or blue with black trim. They measure about 25 inches high, 12 inches wide, and 11 inches deep and come with a touch screen, foam cannon, four quick-disconnect nozzles, a 20-foot hose, and two rollers.
Le Hao Tool's washers were available on Amazon from November 2023 through January 2026. They were sold for between $60 and $130.
The CPSC also warned consumers to stop using HOTFINE pressure washers sold on Amazon and eBay for between $75 and $160. Those machines also lack a GFCI and have an inadequate-length power cord, creating similar risks of shock and electrocution.
The HOTFINE pressure washers are gray, black, and green and come with four nozzles and a foam cannon. Shenzhen Wanyuheng Technology has not responded to the CPSC's requests for a recall.
No injuries or incidents involving the pressure washers have been reported. Both types of pressure washers were manufactured in China.
Customers should stop using the pressure washers immediately, unplug them, cut the power cords, and dispose of them. The CPSC also warned owners not to sell or give away the products.
