Product Safety Warning Details
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers immediately to stop using Uomeod Mini Steamers because they pose a risk of burn injury from hot water. CPSC has received 49 reports of hot water ejecting, spilling or leaking from the steamers, resulting in nine burn injuries, including one second-degree burn from hot water splashing onto a consumer’s thigh in November 2023.
Uomeod and Dongguan Esino Manufacturing Service have not agreed to offer an acceptable recall remedy to consumers.
The Uomeod steamers heat water and release steam through the product’s nozzle to press textiles such as clothing, drapery and upholstery. CPSC’s evaluation found that the Uomeod Mini Steamers can eject hot water from the nozzle when overfilled. The product instructions and warnings do not inform users how to avoid hot water ejections and do not adequately inform consumers of the burn hazard.
The Uomeod Mini Steamers are manufactured by Dongguan Esino Manufacturing Service Co. Ltd., of China, and sold online at Amazon.com by Uomeod-LZ001, of China. The steamers were sold in rose gold (pink), white and black. “Uomeod” is printed on the side of the product beneath the water reservoir window. “Uomeod,” “Mini Steamer,” and “Model: ZL-001” are printed on a label on the bottom of the product. The steamers were sold online on Amazon.com for between $14 and $31 from December 2019 through July 2024.
These products were manufactured in China.
CPSC urges consumers immediately to stop using the Uomeod Mini Steamers, cut the cord and dispose of the products. Do not sell or give away these hazardous steamers.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. Since the CPSC was established more than 50 years ago, it has worked to ensure the safety of consumer products, which has contributed to a decline in injuries associated with these products.
Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.
