NEW YORK (AP) — Approximately 780,000 pressure washers sold at stores like Home Depot are being recalled in the U.S. and Canada due to a projectile hazard that has caused fractures and other injuries to some users.

According to a Thursday recall notice issued by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, TTI Outdoor Power Equipment is recalling specific models of its Ryobi-branded electric pressure washers. The cause is that the products’ capacitor can overheat and burst, “causing parts to be forcefully ejected.”

This presents serious impact risks to users or bystanders. So far, the power tool and equipment company has received 135 reports of capacitors overheating in the U.S., with 41 reports leading to 32 injuries and/or fractures to users’ fingers, hands, face, and eyes. A corresponding notice from Health Canada indicated that no additional incidents were reported in Canada.

Consumers who have these recalled pressure washers are urged to stop using them immediately and visit Ryobi’s recall website for details on obtaining a free repair kit, which includes a replacement capacitor.

The Ryobi washers under recall have model numbers RY142300 and RY142711VNM. About 764,000 were sold in the U.S., in addition to 16,000 in Canada.

In the U.S., these products were sold at Home Depot and Direct Tools Factory Outlet between July 2017 and June 2024, priced around $300 to $400 in stores and online.

TTI Outdoor Power Equipment is a subsidiary of Techtronic Industries (TTI). The Associated Press contacted the company for additional comments on Thursday.

Beyond Thursday’s pressure washer recall, TTI also recalled Ryobi-branded mowers and hedge trimmers earlier this year — due to fire and laceration hazards, respectively.
