Plain-English summary

Sanven Technology Ltd., dba VEVOR, is recalling approximately 2,840 VEVOR Garment Steamers. The steamers were designed to remove wrinkles from clothing and textiles but can leak or spit hot water, posing a risk of serious burn injury. The water tank cap can also leak or detach during use, exposing users and bystanders to hot water.

The company has received six reports of hot water spitting, pouring out, leaking, or dripping from the steamers, and 12 reports of water tank cap issues including detaching, leaking, not staying closed, fitting loosely, or melting. These cap issues have resulted in two burn injuries: one consumer suffered a second-degree burn and permanent scar after the cap suddenly detached, and another consumer received minor burns on the hand and fingers from leaked water. Additionally, one consumer reported a minor steam burn sustained through the provided protective glove.

The recalled steamers were sold online through Vevor.com, Amazon.com, and HomeDepot.com from December 2023 through September 2025, priced between approximately $10 and $33. The product can be identified by the oval-shaped steam vent opening, white body with orange "VEVOR" and "TOUGH TOOLS, HALF PRICE" lettering, red toggle power switch on the handle, and a label on the bottom showing "VEVOR," "Garment Steamer," "FCL-H09," and "Manufacturer: Guangdong ESINO Technology Group Co., Ltd." The steamer was sold with a silver-colored protective glove.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled steamers and contact Sanven Technology for a full refund. Consumers can call toll-free at 855-599-6320 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, email [email protected], or visit vevor.com/pages/vevor-steamer-recall or www.vevor.com and click on "Product Recall" at the top of the page.
