We gave the steam cleaner 3.5 out of four stars, but the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said its causing burn and shock injuries.

According to the commission, the mop's power cord can wear down unexpectedly and expose the wiring.  That's why at least ten people have been shocked and eight have been burned while using the steam cleaner.

The mop's distributor, Thane International, Inc., is issuing repair kits to customers who bought directly through the company.  Contact Thane anytime at (800) 485-0017 or go to the firm’s web site at www.h2omopservice.com.

Here is a description of the recalled products from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission:  The H2O Mop is an electrically-powered appliance for cleaning a variety of floor surfaces that uses microfiber or disposable cloths on a cleaning head through which steam is dispersed. H2O Mops are white with a purple water tank with the "H20" and "M" symbol printed on the top of the cleaning head. The model numbers of affected units are 808.092 and OEM-TV-001. This recall only includes H2O Mops with the following reference numbers printed on the label on the back of the product: 200709198 to 200803148 or H20M1000 to M-H20M1198.

These cleaners were sold directly by Thane through television infomercials, on the Internet, by QVC, and by retailers nationwide from June 2007 through December 2008 for about $100.
