Careful Don't Stretch the Electric Cord

Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods. Enough is enough. Let's talk Steam Cleaners, Holiday Shopping, and Christmas Shopping, Holiday Shopping, and Christmas Shopping

According to Consumer Reports, H2O Mop Steam Cleaners, " Power cord can wear down and expose wiring, posing shock and burn hazards. The distributor, Thane, has had 10 reports involving shock injuries and eight reports involving burns."

580,000 steam cleaners sold through TV infomercials, QVC TV.

For a free repair kit, contact the distributor Thane.

My experience with electric cords and vacuum cleaners is that the user tends to over extend the cord too far and stress the connection at certain points in the housing of the unit. Chances are, so to do users of steam cleaners. Problem is you are commingling water and electric in one product. Always respect the conductive qualities of water, and operate your steam cleaner safely. Don't stretch the cord.
