FOX Business’ Kelly Saberi joins ‘Claman Countdown’ for an inside look at Walmart’s massive effort to eliminate artificial dyes and artificial ingredients from your food without raising costs for consumers.
Bissell is recalling nearly 2 million of its home steam cleaners due to more than 100 reports of serious injuries to some of its attachments, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The brand’s Steam Shot OmniReach and Steam Shot Omni Steam Cleaners are affected by the recall, and the CPSC report says the attachment “can be expected” to come off in the steam, resulting in the user’s exposure to hot steel or water, potentially “resulting in a serious burn hazard.”
According to the CPSC, Bissell received 206 reports of steam leaks from cleaners and 161 people reporting burn injuries. There was one report of a person who suffered a second-degree or partial-thickness burn.
About 1.7 million steamers were recalled in the US alone, and 96,000 units were recalled in Canada, according to the CPSC.

The affected vapors were sold between October 2024 and March 2026 at supermarkets, including Target and Walmart, in addition to online through Amazon or Bissell’s website.
A Bissell spokesperson told FOX Business in a statement that the company will continue to work with the CPSC, and suggested monitoring its website for news about other affected models.

“Consumer safety is our top priority, and we are working in full cooperation with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Health Canada to voluntarily recall our Steam Shot OmniReach and Steam Shot Omni attachments.”
The brand has recalled a separate model of its steamer, the Steamshot Deluxe, which is no longer available for purchase.
FOX Business reported a 2024 recall of 3.2 million steamers due to 157 reports of “minor injuries.” There were also 26 other incidents of cheap hot fumes that caused no injuries.
