284 supported household-product notices found in official CPSC data.
Electric showerhead hot
Hazard: The nozzle can be easily unscrewed, exposing the uninsulated heater coil. The heater coil's grounding screw does not sufficiently reduce the current through the water, posing an electrocution and shock hazard to the bather.
Vector Manufacturing
Hazard: The GFCIs on the inverters, which are intended to protect consumers against shock and electrocution, could fail to operate correctly.
Black Cat Electric
Hazard: MCM International imported the pressure washers from a manufacturer in China, who installed counterfeit ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) plugs on some of the units, without MCM's approval. All of the plugs are labeled "WELLONG"; however, the pressure washers with counterfeit "WELLONG" GFCI plugs appear virtually identical to those with genuine "WELLONG" GFCIs.
