Plain-English summary
HSN is recalling approximately 5.4 million Joy/JM-branded My Little Steamer and My Little Steamer Go Mini handheld clothing steamers. The recall involves standard and compact sizes sold in various colors, including black, white, red, purple, and teal. The steamers are handheld electrical appliances that use hot steam to remove wrinkles from garments.
The recall was issued because the steamers can expel, spray, or leak hot water during use, posing a serious burn hazard. HSN has received 227 reports of hot water spraying or leaking, including 106 reports of burn injuries. These reports include eight instances of second-degree burns and six instances of third-degree burns.
The recalled steamers were sold online at HSN.com, on the HSN television network, and in-stores or online at retailers including Amazon, Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, Walmart, and Lowes from January 2002 through December 2020. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled steamers and contact HSN for a full refund for units purchased between January 2018 and December 2020, a partial refund for units purchased between January 2015 and December 2017, or a voucher for units purchased before January 2015.
