HSN issued a recall for their steamers, specifically, the JM- and Joy- branded My Little Steamer and My little Steamer Go. Both the full-size and compact-size versions of the product are affected by the recall, which actually includes approximately 5.4 million units. The steamers were available in various colors, including white, black, red, purple, and teal.
According to the recall (#21-138), the steamers can potentially expel, spray, or leak hot water while the product is being used, which poses a significant risk of injury to consumers.
The steamers were available via HSN directly both online and on their tv network. The steamers were also available via retailers both online and in-store. The steamers were sold between the $10 to $50 range and were available individually as well as in sets. They were sold from January 2002 through December 2020.
According to the recall, there have been 227 reports of incidents, which include 106 reports of injuries. Of the 106 reports, 8 included second-degree burns and 6 included third-degree burns. The other burn injuries were unspecified.
If you suffered harm associated with the defective steamers recently recalled by HSN, you might have grounds to file a defective product lawsuit. Our lawyers could help you.
Potential Injuries
Consumers could potentially suffer burn injuries due to the defective clothes steamers. Specifically, consumers could suffer thermal burns varying in degrees, including the following:
- First-degree burns (which only affect the top layer of the skin)
- Second-degree burns (which affect the two top layers of the skin)
- Third-degree burns (which affect all three layers of the skin)
First-degree burns are like sunburns and heal with no issues. Second-degree burns, however, can result in permanent discoloration and minor scarring. Third-degree burns, which are the most severe, can cause nerve damage and muscle damage.
