The hazard: Electric shock hazard

This recall is about electric shock: the product can put current where a user’s hand is going to be.

What the notice says: The recalled pressure washers lack an integral ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI) and an adequate-length power cord, posing serious risks of injury or death from shock and electrocution hazards.

Why it matters: The product can expose live parts, lose its earth connection or let current reach a surface a user touches. The risk is highest in a bathroom, a kitchen or outdoors, where someone is likely to be wet or standing on damp ground.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

Do not touch someone who is still in contact with a live source — cut the power at the breaker first. Call 911 for any shock that caused unconsciousness, chest pain, an irregular heartbeat, burns, numbness or muscle pain. Even a shock that felt minor is worth a same-day check if it crossed the chest, because heart rhythm problems can appear a little later.

This page is general information, not medical advice. If you feel unwell, a clinician who can see you is the only person able to judge your case.

What to do about Shock

This recall is about electric shock: the product can put current where a user’s hand is going to be.

  1. Unplug the product, or switch off its circuit at the breaker if it is hard-wired.
  2. Do not attempt a repair yourself unless the notice specifically describes a user-fitted kit.
  3. Check for scorch marks, a warm plug or a damaged cord, and tell the company if you find any — it affects how they handle the claim.
  4. Follow the remedy on this page and keep the model and serial numbers to hand.

Claiming your refund, repair or replacement

The recalling company decides the remedy and funds it. You should never pay for a recall repair or for return shipping.

  • Use the company contact on this page first. Most firms run a dedicated recall page with a claim form that is far quicker than their main support line.
  • Have the model number, the date code and your photos ready. Many companies issue store credit by default — ask for cash or a card reversal if you would rather have it.
  • No receipt? Say so. Recall refunds are routinely paid without proof of purchase, because the hazard is what triggers the obligation.
  • If you bought it from a retailer rather than the brand, try both. Target, Walmart and Amazon often refund recalled goods from the order history.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers should stop using the recalled pressure washers immediately and contact Workbless for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to destroy the pressure washer by cutting the unplugged power cord in half and send a photo of the destroyed pressure washer to [email protected]. Consumers should then dispose of the destroyed recalled product.

Company contact: Workbless by email at [email protected], toll-free at 833-725-3151 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT, Monday through Friday, or online at https://www.workbless.net/recall/.
