CPSC’s October 22 warning says identified PowRyte pressure washers lack an integrated ground-fault protective device near the plug.

What the record says

CPSC warns that the pressure washers lack a ground-fault circuit-interrupter at or near the power plug, creating a risk of electric shock and electrocution. The notice identifies green-and-black products with accessories such as quick-connect nozzles and a foam cannon, sold through Amazon and eBay. CPSC says the company has not responded to requests for a recall.

Source details and supporting locations.

Practical next step

Stop using the identified products. Follow CPSC’s full unplugging and disposal instructions, and do not sell or give away the washers.

Limits and what is not established

This is a CPSC safety warning, not a company-agreed recall or refund offer. The notice records one report of a unit lacking the protective device; it does not report an injury or death from that incident.
