BISSELL steam cleaners, iron supplements among widespread U.S. recalls over risks of burns, poisoning and fire

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A sweeping wave of product recalls — including more than 1.7 million BISSELL steam cleaners and over 350,000 iron-containing supplements — has been issued nationwide over a range of hazards, including risks of burns, child poisoning, fires and even death, federal safety officials announced.

Hazard:

The dietary supplements contain iron, which must be in child-resistant packaging as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The packaging of the supplements is not child-resistant, posing a risk of serious injury or death from poisoning if the contents are swallowed by young children.

Remedy:

Consumers should immediately store the supplements out of sight and reach of children and contact Vitaquest International for information on how to obtain a free child-resistant replacement cap or storage pouch.
