CPSC, MCM International Announce Recall of Electric Pressure Washers

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The hazard

MCM International imported the pressure washers from a manufacturer in China, who installed counterfeit ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) plugs on some of the units, without MCM's approval. All of the plugs are labeled "WELLONG"; however, the pressure washers with counterfeit "WELLONG" GFCI plugs appear virtually identical to those with genuine "WELLONG" GFCIs. It will require a professional inspection to identify the counterfeit GFCIs. GFCIs are important safety devices that are intended to protect consumers against shock or electrocution.

What to do

Consumers should stop using these pressure washers and discard the product. A remedy is no longer available.
