The product, in the report: Mainstays 800W Handheld Steamer: BG532 model number
I Purchased a garment steamer from Walmart on March 22. A few days later use the steamer and thought it worked great. The next day I plugged it in and made sure it was filled properly and the steamer began to shoot boiling water out of the spout. Luckily my daughter was not in the way when this happened but it also was shooting towards the electrical outlet. I went on the website to check if anyone else has had this experience and multiple consumers had posted reviews with the same situation. I have reported it to Walmart but I want to make sure this item gets pulled from the shelf so no one else gets harmed. This could’ve been a really bad situation and my daughter could have ended up with third-degree burns, I’m so thankful it wasn’t worse .
