Steam Cleaners Recalled by Thane International
About 580,000 H2O Mop Steam Cleaners are being recalled because the power cord can unexpectedly wear down and expose the wiring, posing a shock and burn hazard to consumers.
Thane has so far received 10 reports of incidents involving shock injuries and 8 reports of incidents involving burn injuries.
The H2O Mop is an electrically-powered appliance for cleaning a variety of floor surfaces that uses microfiber or disposable cloths on a cleaning head through which steam is dispersed. H2O Mops are white with a purple water tank with the "H20" and "M" symbol printed on the top of the cleaning head. The model numbers of affected units are 808.092 and OEM-TV-001. This recall only includes H2O Mops with the following reference numbers printed on the label on the back of the product: 200709198 to 200803148 or H20M1000 to M-H20M1198.
The mops were sold directly to consumers by Thane through television infomercials; on the Web at www.thane.com; by QVC, through its televised shopping program; and by retailers nationwide from June 2007 through December 2008 for about $100.
