The electronic start/stop button on the pressure washer can malfunction and self-start, posing a risk of serious injury or death due to carbon monoxide poisoning if the unit is in a confined space. As of May 13, 2026, the company has received no reports of incident or injuries in Canada. In the United States, the company has received six reports of the pressure washers self-starting and operating without being connected to a water supply and no reports of injury or property damage.
