Millions of people bought this popular product, but it might burn you so stop using it now

[Yoni Heisler]

The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission this week highlighted a recall involving 5.4 million units of a handheld clothing steamer amid reports that more than 100 people were burned while using the device. The two products in question include the Joy/JM-branded My Little Steamer and My Little Steamer Go Mini. Both products were sold on HSN and were also available at retail outlets across the country, including Lowes, Target, and Bed Bath & Beyond. The devices were also available on Amazon.

As the name implies, the products use hot steam to quickly remove wrinkles from items of clothing. A technical glitch, however, can sometimes cause the handheld devices to spray or leak incredibly hot water during use. The recall notes that this poses a serious burn hazard for users. To date, HSN alone has received more than 225 reports of the products malfunctioning and 106 subsequent reports of users experiencing burns. Of this group, eight individuals reported second-degree burns while six people reported third-degree burns.
