These Recalled Pressure Washers Lack the One Component That Stops an Electrical Fault from Turning Fatal

A pressure washer recall announced this week involves a missing part, the one designed to cut power before an electrical fault kills someone.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission said Workbless electric pressure washers, models WB0301 and WB0302, lack an integral ground-fault circuit interrupter and an adequately long power cord, posing serious risks of injury or death from electric shock. About 2,200 units were sold in the United States, with roughly 657 more in Canada. No incidents or injuries have been reported.
