while inflating the tire on my pressure washer, the rim exploded apart
Report updated 9/25/2026:
When I inflated the tire, the rim below apart quite violently and a piece narrowly missed my face. The incident reminded me of such similar incidents where truckers were killed by welded tire rims that blew apart.
the plastic rim that blew apart was original equipment

The product, in the report: Simpson Pressure washer. Picture attached

Injured while using a pressure washer. I contacted the company directly and returned the unit to Sam’s Club in Holland Michigan. The Company ghosted me after asking for me to send them my medical bills. They never responded and had their attorney contact me. I’ve attached the communication email thread in the documents section of this form. It is very concerning that a company would ignore a customer injury as severe as this. Now they have informed my attorney that they never received the machine when they had every opportunity to do so. The company had amble time to intercept this unit and if they were concerned with Consumer Safety they would have done so. It is now up to your org to hold them accountable.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(11/28/2025) FNA Group Inc: FNA Group, Inc. (“FNA”) takes product safety concerns very seriously. Promptly after being informed of the incident involved in this report (the “Report”), FNA filed a claim with its insurance company in order to adequately address any loss or injury suffered by the consumer (the “Consumer”) who submitted this Report. Unfortunately, the Consumer did not retain the Product at issue (a pressure washer, spray gun and high-pressure hose) or send the Product to FNA for inspection. Instead, the Consumer returned the Product to a Sam’s Club store prior to contacting FNA. Sam’s Club did not retain the returned Product. Accordingly, FNA has been unable to perform a physical inspection of the Product. However, the photos submitted by the Consumer with this report show damaged flutes on the cover of the threaded coupler which connects the high-pressure hose to the spray gun. This indicates that when the Consumer assembled the Product, a hand assisted tool was utilized to forcefully connect the coupler to the threads of the spray gun inlet. The photos submitted by the Consumer also indicate that the threads of the coupler were “cross threaded” and not aligned properly. This cross threading may have caused or contributed to the incident in the Consumer’s report, because the coupler connecting the high-pressure hose to the spray gun may not have been fully and properly attached when the Product was used by the Consumer. Moreover, the Consumer’s assertions in the report that FNA “ghosted” the Consumer and failed to communicate are without merit, as the Consumer’s attorney specifically instructed FNA not to communicate with the Consumer but instead to direct all communications to the Consumer’s attorney. FNA and its insurer have complied with this directive from the Consumer’s attorney. FNA builds all its products, including its pressure washers, spray guns and hoses, to the highest industry standards for quality and safety, including UL standard 60335-2-79, whereby FNA’s hoses can withstand a hydro-static pressure four times greater than the rated pressure of its hoses. FNA has not received a similar claim concerning this Product, despite having placed more than 80,000 of them into the market over the past five years. FNA stands behind the quality of all its products and places a premium on the safety of its customers. FNA encourages consumers with any concerns regarding its products to contact us at 1-877-362-4271 and / or cservice@fna-group.com.

The product, in the report: Simpson pressure washer

On the 4th time using my Simpson pressure washer, model MS61124 bought at Sam’s Club, I heard a loud pop sound and water was spraying out side of the high pressure hose and there was a hole in hose. If I had been near it, it could have caused serious injury. When I called Simpson, they were unconcerned.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(5/8/2024) FNA Group Inc: FNA Group, Inc. (“FNA”) takes product safety concerns very seriously and we are thankful that the incident involved in this report did not cause either an injury or property damage. FNA has contacted the consumer who filed the report and is arranging for the return of the hose at issue, but has not yet received it. Accordingly, FNA has been unable to perform a physical inspection of the hose to determine the cause of the issue. FNA builds all its products, including its hoses, to the highest industry standards for quality and safety, including UL standard 60335-2-79, whereby FNA’s hoses can withstand a hydro-static pressure four times greater than the rated pressure of its hoses. FNA has not received another claim concerning this particular hose, despite having placed more than 270,000 of them into the market over the past eleven years. FNA stands behind the quality of all its products and places a premium on the safety of its customers.

The product, in the report: Simpson 3000 PSI Pressure washer, Model MS60805-S, P/N: 60808, Serial # 08212034210

I was using my Simpson 3000psi power washer. As I was spraying hi-pressure water, i let go of the trigger to turn off the high pressure flow, but the trigger valve stuck on and did not shut off high pressure water flow. No injuries occured, but it was really scary that the water didn’t shut off like expected. I was washing the top of my Travel Trailer and it made for a treacherous descent from the top with a full-power pressure washer wand in my hand.

The product, in the report: Simpson power washer model # 13SIE-170. Serial number J1311008958. Color red and black.

My husband purchased a Simpson power washer approximately 5 years ago. It is model #13SIE-170, serial number J1311008958, He used it to wash our cars at most 20 times and to power wash our outside fence twice. On approximately September 20, 2020 he was using it outside and began to smell smoke, see smoke. Then flames appeared from the machine. He shut it off. I contacted Simpson (now apparently Gardner, Inc) via email on 9/24 to [REDACTED] and explained the situation. She requested photographs which we provided. She replied on 9/25 to confirm receipt of the photos and to confirm my email address and telephone number. She forwarded this information to someone by the name of [REDACTED] in customer service. [REDACTED] called me on 9/28 and said she would talk to my husband in the future. We did not hear from her. I called again on 10/5 and spoke to [REDACTED], who said she would leave a voice mail for [REDACTED]. [REDACTED] did call me back on 10/5 and told me that the pictures did not show evidence of a fire, but carbon buildup. So, they are taking no responsibility for this machine catching on fire. I believe that this could have resulted in a catastrophic injury. We wanted the company to be aware of it. We also wanted to know if this had happened to other machines, but were told by [REDACTED] that she didn’t believe so. We are concerned, still, that this needs to be reported.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(11/13/2020) FNA Group Inc: FNA Group takes product safety and performance concerns very seriously. While the Simpson model 13SIE pressure washer has not been the subject of any other reported incidents or accidents, these are products with electric motors that generate high pressures and necessarily must not be damaged, must be properly maintained, and must be used pursuant to recommended procedures. While we have not had the opportunity to inspect and evaluate the specific product involved in this report, we note that it was more than five years old and long out of warranty. FNA encourages consumers with any concerns about our products to contact us at 877-362-4271 or email us at productsupport@simpsoncleaning.com

The product, in the report: GASOLINE POWERED PRESSURE WASHER 3100 PSI

Ratcheting gas cap on brand new unit won’t seal and leaks large amount of gasoline every time you tilt or move it. Hot engines and gas cap spewing gas all over is a life safety hazard. Impossible to transport unit in a vehicle without gas sloshing over. These are going to cause injury and damage. Ratcheting cap is worthless.
