A pressure washer waiting in the garage is easy to overlook when a recall arrives. This one deserves a label check before the next patio cleanup.

Which machine is affected?

CPSC’s November 12 notice covers 80 QIOMALA HWT12P electric pressure washers. Look for the model on the rear label near the power-cord entry. The green-and-black or blue-and-black units were sold on Amazon from April through June 2026 for about $130.

The stated hazard is an inadequately long power cord that may encourage extension-cord use, creating a shock or electrocution risk. CPSC reports no incidents or injuries in the notice.

Stop the job and check the label

Owners should stop using affected washers and contact [email protected] for a full refund. The official process asks owners to unplug the unit, cut its power cord in half, and submit a photo showing the destroyed washer and its model number before disposal. Never cut a connected cord. Read the CPSC notice and identification photos before following those steps.

A simple record to keep with your claim

Create one folder containing a readable label photo, the purchase confirmation if available, and the seller’s response. Keeping these together makes it easier to answer a follow-up without searching old messages. Do not send your account password or payment-card details with a product photo.

1 · Identify

Read HWT12P on the rear label.

2 · Pause

Keep the affected washer out of use.

3 · Document

Follow the official claim instructions.

If you cannot identify it

Colour alone is not enough to establish a match. Compare the model label with the official photos and ask the recall contact about an unreadable label. Do not run the machine merely to demonstrate that it works.
