Summary

Approximately 1.06 million Greenworks and Powerworks pressure washer spray guns are being recalled due to an impact injury hazard. The plastic spray gun connector can break during use, causing the hose or parts of the connector to dislodge unexpectedly. Consumers should stop using the affected spray guns immediately and contact the manufacturer for a free replacement handle. Please see the Affected Products section for a full list of models and date codes, and refer to What You Should Do for instructions on how to identify if your unit is part of this recall.

Risk

The spray gun connector is made of black plastic, which can break under pressure and cause parts to become dislodged, posing a risk of impact injury to the user. There have been 15 reports of the connector breaking, resulting in 13 injuries, including broken bones and injuries to the eyes and mouth that required medical treatment.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your pressure washer to determine if it is affected by inspecting the spray gun; if the interior connector is made of black plastic, it is part of this recall. If the connector is metal, it is not included in this recall.
  2. Identify if your unit is one of the affected models (GPW1500, GPW1501, GPW1600, GPW1602, GPW1702, GPW1704, GPW1800, GPW1803, 5202002, PWA101, or PWA104) and matches the date codes listed in the Affected Products section.
