HOTFINE and Le Hao pressure washer warning guidance now points to the same immediate safety action for both products: CPSC says consumers should stop using the affected electric pressure washers because they can expose users to serious shock and electrocution hazards. The remedy situation is not the same, however. Le Hao Tool previously had a formal recall, but CPSC now says the firm has stopped honoring its recall obligations. For HOTFINE, CPSC says the seller has not responded to recall requests.
That distinction matters for owners trying to decide whether an older refund instruction, a replacement offer or a current stop-use warning applies to the washer they have.
What should owners do now?
CPSC instructs consumers to stop using the affected Le Hao Tool and HOTFINE pressure washers immediately.
The current warnings instruct owners to unplug the pressure washer and cut the power cord before disposal or destruction.
Do not sell or give away a product covered by these warnings.
Le Hao’s earlier recall remedy is no longer being reliably honored, while HOTFINE’s seller has not cooperated with CPSC recall requests.
How can I identify the Le Hao Tool pressure washer?
CPSC’s current warning concerns Le Hao Tool electric pressure washers previously covered by the April 16, 2026 recall. CPSC described affected units as green or blue with black trim, a touch screen, foam cannon, four quick-disconnect nozzles, a 20-foot hose and two rollers. The front carries the wording “ELECTRONIC High Pressure Washer.” About 3,100 units were included in the earlier recall.
The safety issue is missing required ground-fault circuit interrupter, or GFCI, immersion protection. CPSC says this can expose users to electrocution and shock, including risk of serious injury or death.
Is the old Le Hao refund still the current remedy?
Owners should not assume the April recall’s full-refund process remains reliably available. In its September 10 warning, CPSC says Le Hao Tool has stopped honoring its recall obligations.
CPSC also says some consumers reported being offered an unauthorized replacement remedy. The agency says it has not approved or assessed those replacement products and urges consumers not to use replacement products offered outside the approved recall process.
This does not mean CPSC has established that every replacement product is itself defective. The evidence-supported point is narrower: the replacement remedy was not approved or assessed by CPSC, and the agency’s current instruction is not to use it.
How can I identify the HOTFINE pressure washer?
CPSC’s separate September 10 warning concerns HOTFINE electric pressure washers described as gray, black and green units sold with four nozzles and a foam cannon through Amazon.com and eBay.com. The recovered warning does not state an affected-unit count.
CPSC says the HOTFINE pressure washers lack required GFCI immersion protection and adequate power-cord length, creating a risk of serious shock and electrocution.
Is HOTFINE under a formal recall?
TPS should not describe the current HOTFINE action as a cooperating formal recall. CPSC says Shenzhen Wanyuheng Technology has not responded to requests to conduct a recall.
The current reader action is still clear: CPSC says owners should stop using the product immediately, unplug it, cut the power cord, destroy or dispose of it and not sell or give it away.
What is different between the two warnings?
The safety outcome is similar, but the remedy history is different. Le Hao Tool had an April recall covering about 3,100 units and an announced refund remedy; the September warning says the company has stopped honoring those obligations. HOTFINE’s warning says its seller has not responded to CPSC requests to conduct a recall.
For readers, that means the two products belong on one current safety-action page, but they should not be presented as one manufacturer, one model or one identical recall process.
Have any injuries been reported?
CPSC’s September 10 warnings list no reported incidents or injuries for either product. That does not remove the hazard: the agency’s stop-use instructions are based on the electrical protection deficiencies and the resulting electrocution and shock risk.
What should owners avoid?
- Do not continue using an affected washer because no injury has occurred yet.
- Do not assume the old Le Hao refund instruction is still a guaranteed current remedy.
- Do not use an unauthorized Le Hao replacement merely because it was offered by the seller.
- Do not describe HOTFINE as having a cooperating recall when CPSC says the seller has not responded to recall requests.
- Do not sell or give away a washer covered by the current stop-use warnings.
What could change next?
This page should be revisited if Le Hao restores a CPSC-approved remedy, HOTFINE agrees to conduct a recall, Amazon or eBay announces a material consumer remedy, CPSC changes the affected product scope, or incidents or injuries are reported.
Verification note: TPS reviewed CPSC Product Safety Warnings 26-759 and 26-758 and reconciled the current Le Hao warning with its April 16 recall. The stop-use instructions and hazard statements are directly supported by CPSC. The exact CPSC publication clocks, HOTFINE affected-unit count, number of Le Hao purchasers affected by failed remedies and any future marketplace remedy remain unresolved.
