Signal Brief

  • CPSC recalled 329 affected LANCHEZ KLC-BULL135C pressure washers because of serious shock and electrocution hazards.
  • Owners should confirm the model and recall scope before unplugging the washer and cutting the power cord as required for the remedy.
  • The refund process requires a photo showing the destroyed washer and model number; the official remedy is a full refund.
  • CPSC reports one incident involving a missing GFCI and no injuries at the current evidence state.

The LANCHEZ pressure washer recall covers 329 affected KLC-BULL135C electric pressure washers that can pose serious shock and electrocution hazards. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says recalled units lack an integral ground-fault circuit interrupter, or GFCI, and an adequate-length power cord. Owners of affected units should stop using them immediately and follow the official destruction-and-refund process.

The recall does not cover every LANCHEZ pressure washer. Consumers should first confirm the model and recall characteristics before taking the irreversible step of cutting the power cord.

How to check the LANCHEZ pressure washer recall

The recalled product is a 3.2 GPM LANCHEZ electric pressure washer with model number KLC-BULL135C. CPSC describes recalled units as blue-and-black or red-and-black. The model number is printed on a label located on top of the unit near the handle.

CPSC says the recall applies to affected KLC-BULL135C power washers that do not have an integral GFCI or an adequate-length power cord. Appearance alone should therefore not be used as the only verification step.

Why CPSC says the washer is dangerous

A GFCI is intended to reduce the risk of serious electrical shock by interrupting power when an electrical fault is detected. CPSC says the recalled pressure washers lack the required integral GFCI and adequate cord length, creating shock and electrocution hazards. The inadequate cord can also increase the likelihood that consumers use an extension cord in wet operating conditions.

CPSC reports one incident in which a pressure washer was found without a GFCI. No injuries were reported when the recall notice was issued.

Where and when the affected washers were sold

The recalled pressure washers were sold online through Amazon.com, Walmart.com and Temu.com from February through June 2026. CPSC lists sale prices ranging from about $88 to $266.

The product measures approximately 12.2 inches by 16.9 inches by 16.5 inches and includes a 500 ml soap tank, four quick-disconnect nozzles and a 23-foot pressure hose. These details can help owners distinguish the product, but the model label and CPSC recall description remain the controlling verification points.

What owners should do for a full refund

  1. Verify the model first. Confirm that the washer is model KLC-BULL135C and matches the affected recall scope.
  2. Stop using the recalled washer immediately. Do not continue operating an affected unit while arranging the remedy.
  3. Disconnect it from electrical power. Make sure the washer is unplugged before taking any destruction step.
  4. Cut the power cord in half. CPSC instructs consumers to destroy the recalled washer by cutting its power cord.
  5. Photograph the destroyed product. The photo should show the destroyed washer and the model number.
  6. Send the required proof to LANCHEZ. CPSC directs consumers to submit the photograph to LANCHEZ at service@lanchezpumps.com.
  7. Dispose of the destroyed washer. Follow the recall instructions after documenting the required proof.
  8. Obtain the full refund. The official recall remedy is a full refund, not a repair or replacement.

Do you need to return the washer to Amazon, Walmart or Temu?

The reviewed CPSC instructions do not tell consumers to return the physical washer to the online marketplace where it was purchased. Instead, consumers are instructed to stop using the product, destroy it by cutting the power cord, send LANCHEZ a photograph showing the destroyed washer and model number, dispose of the product and obtain a full refund.

Because destruction is irreversible, owners should verify the model and current CPSC instructions before cutting the cord.

What the recall does not say

CPSC does not report an injury or electrocution associated with the recall at the current evidence state. The agency reports one incident involving a missing GFCI and no injuries.

The reviewed evidence also does not establish how long LANCHEZ will take to process a refund after receiving the required photograph. TPS therefore does not provide an estimated refund-processing time.

What could change next

The page should be updated if CPSC expands the recall to additional models or identifiers, reports injuries or additional incidents, or changes the destruction, documentation, contact or refund procedure. Any later clarification from LANCHEZ that materially changes what consumers must submit should also update this same recall page.

Verification note

TPS reviewed CPSC Recall No. 26-779 for the affected model, product description, electrical hazard, sales channels, incident count and consumer remedy, and checked Walmart’s current recall listing as supporting retailer evidence. The official CPSC notice controls the recall scope and action instructions.
