Workbless Expands Recall of Electric Pressure Washers Over Shock and Electrocution Hazards
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) expanded its recall of Workbless Electric Pressure Washers on August 20, 2026, due to risks of serious injury or death from shock and electrocution. The recalled units lack an integral ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI) and an adequate-length power cord, according to the CPSC recall notice.
The recall now covers Workbless models WB0301 and WB0302. Model WB0301 is green and black, about 27.24 inches high, 10.83 inches wide, and 8.39 inches deep, with "WORKBLESS", "WB0301" and "ELECTRIC PRESSURE WASHER" printed on a label on the back. Model WB0302 is also green and black, about 29.57 inches high, 14.69 inches wide, and 10.94 inches deep, with "WORKBLESS", "WB0302" and "HEAVY DUTY ELECTRIC PRESSURE WASHER" printed on a label on the back. Both models came with four quick connect nozzles and a foam cannon.
About 2,200 units were sold in the U.S. and about 657 in Canada, according to the CPSC. No injuries have been reported. Consumers should stop using the recalled pressure washers immediately and contact Workbless for a full refund. They will be asked to destroy the pressure washer by cutting the unplugged power cord in half and send a photo of the destroyed unit to service@workbless.net, then dispose of the product. The recall number is 26715.
The CPSC database records no other enforcement action by this firm.

How we work
This site models an investigative reporter rather than a wire desk. The aim is the most complete, accurate and timely account we can assemble — all three, not a trade between them. Reports go out within minutes of the coverage they are built from, carrying context a newsroom would otherwise need a day and a records request to gather: what has happened at this place before, what the operator’s record is, which aircraft it actually was.
Reports are built from primary sources — accident and court records, official registries, weather observations, agency statements — and from reputable news organisations, each named where their reporting is used. Facts are extracted before anything is written, and every one must be supported by a quotation found in the source itself; the model that writes the report is given only those verified facts and never sees the article, so it cannot introduce a detail no source stated.
Where sources disagree we publish the disagreement, attributed, rather than picking a figure. Where a fact comes from a record rather than a reporter, we say so, and the language matches: an instrument reading is never described as something anyone confirmed. Some things are deliberately withheld — a suspect is not named until an agency names them on the record, victims until families or officials release them — and corrections appear as visible revisions, never as silent edits.
None of that makes a report true. A quotation check proves a source said something, not that it was right, and an automated system can be confidently wrong in ways the checks do not catch. If something here is wrong, the feedback above is how it gets found. The full methodology, including what we refuse to publish.
