The manufacturer of RYOBI electric pressure washers is warning consumers to immediately stop using certain devices, following more than 100 reports of them overheating, potentially leading to an explosion.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the RYOBI pressure washer recall on August 28, indicating that there have been multiple reports of injuries related to the products.

Electric pressure washers are alternatives to gas-powered pressure washers. They use electric power to create high-powered water streams for cleaning various surfaces.

However, officials are warning that the affected RYOBI pressure washers’ capacitor can overheat and burst, which could cause parts to be forcibly ejected, potentially leading to severe injuries for the user or bystanders.
