The Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued recalls for multiple no-name electric pressure washer brands — all sold through Amazon — for a hazard that demands immediate action: missing ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI) protection.
Five brands are affected: Fengrong Tool, Le Hao Tool, Agiiman, Sweetcrispy, and BAYOTAK USA. Each was found selling corded electric pressure washers without GFCI protection, which is a required safety feature for electrical tools used near water. When a GFCI is absent, a fault in the motor or wiring can send current through water or a wet surface directly to the operator.
Stop Using It Now — Here’s What to Do
If you own a pressure washer branded under any of these names — or an unbranded unit bought on Amazon for under $100 in the past couple of years — stop using it until you verify it against the recall list. CPSC’s standard protocol for this type of recall is:
- Stop use immediately
- Contact the manufacturer for a full refund
- Destroy the unit by cutting the power cord
- Photograph the destroyed unit as proof to claim your refund
Full model numbers and contact information for each brand are in the CPSC recall database at cpsc.gov/recalls. Search each brand name and “pressure washer.”
Why This Category Keeps Getting Recalled
The sub-$80 electric pressure washer market on Amazon is flooded with manufacturers that cycle through brand names to sidestep accountability. These products often pass basic electrical inspection but skip the GFCI component — a $3–$5 part that manufacturers cut to hit a price target. GFCI protection is standard on all name-brand electric pressure washers and required by code on outdoor outlets in most jurisdictions.
This isn’t a new pattern. Similar recalls have hit the same category in previous years, usually under different brand names from the same factories. Generac had its own recall last week for a fuel leak hazard — the power equipment space is having a rough spring for safety news.
Safe Options If You Need to Replace It
The cleanest fix is to go cordless. Battery-powered pressure washers run on a rechargeable pack with no cord and no outlet — there’s no GFCI needed because there’s no AC current near water. For most spring cleaning jobs (deck, siding, vehicles, patio furniture), 300–700 PSI from a cordless unit does the job without the hazard.

If you specifically need a corded model for high-pressure work, stick to UL-listed units from established brands (Sun Joe, Kärcher, Greenworks) and make sure your outdoor outlet has GFCI protection — look for the test/reset button on the outlet face. If it’s not there, replace the outlet before using any corded power equipment outdoors.
Bottom Line
The few dollars saved on a no-name Amazon pressure washer aren’t worth the risk. Check your unit against the CPSC recall list. If you’re buying new, buy cordless or buy a known brand — either way you avoid the hazard entirely.
