Two million Black+Decker steamers have been recalled after more than 80 reports of burn injuries, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission announced Thursday. The steamers can “expel, spray, or leak hot water during use,” the recall warned, which can injure the user. More than 500,000 of these steamers were already recalled in November 2022, but the recall expanded Thursday to include 1.6 million more. Since the original recall, there have been 317 reports of hot water expelling from the steamer. There have been 82 reports of burn injuries, seven of which were second-degree burns. The recall noted that 94 of the 317 reports happened with repaired steamers from the 2022 recall or from models with an updated design. The recall now includes all BLACK+DECKER Model HGS011 Easy Garment Steamers, which were sold in a variety of colors. The following model numbers are included in the recall and are printed at the bottom of the steamer or on the sides of the package:
