Recall Insight

This CPSC action (record #23176) was formally reported on April 6, 2023. It is classified under Moderate severity, with a current status of Active. The recalling firm is not specified in the federal record. Federal records list the affected scope as About 2,000 (About 56,000 BISSELL® Cordless Multi-Surface Wet Dry Vacuums Models 2551, 2551W and 25519 were previously recalled in January 2023).

The documented reason for this recall is: The circuit board inside the vacuum's battery pack can overheat and smoke, posing a fire hazard. Distribution information was not included in the agency filing, so consumers should assume broad potential exposure until the firm publishes point-of-sale details. The remedy documented by the agency is: Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled vacuums and contact BISSELL for a free battery pack replacement. Consumers can either take the recalled product to a local BISSELL authorized serv… - consumers holding this product should act on that instruction rather than relying on general guidance.
