If you have a Greenworks or Powerworks pressure washer, check the model number on it. Hongkong Sun Rise Trading recently recalled over one million of these washers because of a risk of injuries, including broken bones.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recently announced this recall. It involves the Greenworks brand 2000 psi plastic pressure washer spray gun included in the following products:

You should be able to find the model number printed on the back of the pressure washer unit, near the top. Model numbers include:

The brand—Greenworks or Powerworks—should appear on the side of the pressure washer spray gun. When the gun is removed from the hose, the interior connector is made of black plastic, not metal, on the recalled units.

The products were sold at Lowe’s Stores nationwide and at Lowes.com, Amazon.com, and other online retailers from January 2017 through February 2021. The plastic gun accessory kit was sold for about $40 and the pressure washers were sold for between $100 and $180.

The problem is that the spray gun connector can break, causing the hose and/or parts of the connector to become dislodged during use. This poses an impact injury hazard to the user.

Hongkong Sun Rise has received 15 reports of the pressure washer spray gun connectors breaking this way, allowing the hose and/or other parts to disconnect. This resulted in 13 reports of injuries, of which 7 required medical treatment for post-concussion, broken bones, and/or injuries to the eyes and mouth.

The company advises consumers to immediately stop using the recalled spray guns and contact Hongkong Sun Rise Trading for a free replacement of the spray gun handle. For more information, call the company toll-free at 833-211-9185 Monday through Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. ET, and Sunday 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. ET.
