Lysol Steam-Cleaning Mop Recalled

Conair Corp. is recalling about 162,000 Lysol steam-cleaning mops. Hot water mixed with Lysol can forcefully spurt out and rupture the housing unit, posing a burn hazard and a laceration hazard to consumers from the broken housing unit.

This recall involves the Lysol Steam Cleaning Mop by Conair with model numbers SM10L or SM10LR. The model number is printed on the bottom of the mop under the microfiber cloth.

The mops were sold at department, drug, hardware and home improvement stores and mass merchandisers nationwide and on the Internet from September 2006 through September 2009 for about $40. They were made in China.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled mop and contact Conair to receive a free replacement steam cleaning mop.
