Defective products can cause serious injuries to those who use them or are in close proximity to their use. It’s important for brands to ensure that their products meet health and safety standards that are suitable for the consumer market. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case, and some products can leave unsuspecting consumers injured due to a manufacturer's negligence.
Joy/JM-branded My Little Steamer and My Little Steamer Go Mini, manufactured by Ingenious Designs LLC, of Ronkonkoma, N.Y. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of HSN since 1999), have been recalled, pulling 5.4 million units off of shelves across the U.S and a further 14,300 in Canada. The recall was issued after numerous incidents and reports that the My Little Steamer products had caused significant harm to its user.
There were 227 reports filed with the HSN after customers had used the steamer and experienced hot water spraying or leaking from the steamer. These reports included 106 burn reports. Eight of these were second-degree burns, and six were third-degree burns.
If you have suffered a burn injury due to the My Little Steamer clothing steamer expelling, spraying, or leaking hot water on your body, you could be eligible to claim compensation for your injury and the impact it has further had on your life, including lost income due to taking time off work to recover.
