QIOMALA Recalls 80 Pressure Washers Over Electrocution Risk

About 80 QIOMALA electric pressure washers are under recall because the machines don't come with a long enough power cord. The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall on November 12, 2026, covering QIOMALA-branded pressure washers with model number HWT12P. The importer is Ningbo Miyao E-Commerce Co., doing business as QIOMALA, of China, and the recall number is 27-084.

The hazard isn't a part that breaks. It's a choice the short cord pushes on the owner. A cord that doesn't reach encourages people to plug the washer into an extension cord, and that pairing creates a serious risk of shock and electrocution, especially around water, which is the one thing a pressure washer is always around. The commission classifies the hazard as a risk of serious injury or death.

The covered machines are 1.2 GPM electric pressure washers sold in green with black and in blue with black. They measure about 14 inches deep, 11 inches wide and 15 inches high, and they came with a 500 ml soap tank, four quick disconnect nozzles and a 20-foot hose. The model number, HWT12P, is printed on a label on the back of the unit, near the power cord entry point.

The sales window was short and the count is small. The washers sold on Amazon.com from April 2026 through June 2026 for about $130. No incidents or injuries have been reported, which is why this recall can still end at a refund instead of an emergency room.

The remedy is a full refund, and it comes with a step owners don't always expect. Consumers should stop using the washers immediately, unplug the unit, cut the power cord in half, and email a photo of the destroyed pressure washer showing the model number to QIOMALA at [email protected] before disposing of the product. The photo is the proof the machine is out of service.

Checking a unit takes less than a minute. The model number is printed on a label on the back of the washer, near where the power cord enters the housing. If the label reads HWT12P and the machine came from Amazon between April and June 2026, it's covered, whatever color it is. Owners who aren't sure can match the rest of the description: a 500 ml soap tank, four quick disconnect nozzles and a 20-foot hose in the box.

The general rule travels past this one model. Electric pressure washers and extension cords are a bad mix anywhere water pools, because the cord's connections weren't built to sit in spray. A washer whose own cord can't reach the work without one was never finished as a safe product, and 80 of them are now coming back for exactly that reason.
