The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to stop using Dovety Steam Cleaners immediately because the steam cleaners can leak or suddenly eject hot water or steam, posing a risk of serious burn injuries to consumers.
CPSC urges consumers to stop using the steam cleaners immediately and dispose of them. Do not sell or give away these hazardous steam cleaners.
The Chinese seller, Shenzhen Kaisennic Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., has not agreed to a recall of these steam cleaners.
The products were manufactured in China.
The Dovety Steam Cleaner is a handheld, pressurized steam cleaner. It has a compact plastic body, an integrated water tank, a trigger-style steam release on the handle, and a screw-type cap on top where the user fills the tank. The steam cleaner comes with 12 accessories, including round plastic brushes, a bent spray nozzle, a squeegee attachment, an extension hose, and other interchangeable cleaning heads. The model number "TMSC-001" is printed on a label on the bottom of the unit. The brand name "Dovety" can be found on the side of the product.
Report any incidents involving injury or product defect to CPSC at www.SaferProducts.gov.
CPSC is aware of 52 reports of hot water spitting, spewing, spraying, spilling out, leaking or otherwise exiting the steamers, resulting in at least 48 reported burn injuries.
The recalled products can contain bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an environmental organism found widely in soil and water. People with weakened immune systems, external medical devices, or underlying lung conditions who are exposed to Pseudomonas aeruginosa face a risk of serious infection that may require medical treatment. The bacteria can enter the body if inhaled, through the eyes, or through a break in the skin. People with healthy immune systems are usually not affected by bacteria.
The bottles contain turpentine, which must be in child-resistant packaging as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The packaging is not child-resistant, posing a risk of serious injury or death from poisoning if the contents are ingested by young children.

The recalled products can contain Pseudomonas species bacteria, including Pseudomonas oleovorans, an environmental organism found widely in soil and water. People with weakened immune systems or external medical devices who are exposed to the bacteria face a risk of serious infection that may require medical treatment. The bacteria can enter the body through the eyes or through a break in the skin. People with healthy immune systems are usually not affected by the bacteria.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. Since the CPSC was established more than 50 years ago, it has worked to ensure the safety of consumer products, which has contributed to a decline in injuries associated with these products.
Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.
