Health Canada has issued a recall for thousands of Bissell-branded steam cleaners after reports of burns in Canada and the United States.

The agency says in a notice that recalls are for attachments for several types of Steam Shot, OmniReach and Omni Steam cleaners.

It says attachments for these steam cleaners have been reported to detach unexpectedly and spray hot water or steam onto users, causing burns.

Health Canada says there has been at least one burn injury reported in Canada, and 160 in the U.S.
