The CPSC and Generac Power Systems announce the recall of 

Generac Electric Start Pressure Washers.  The start/stop button on these units is defective and the gasoline engine may start when the unit is inside leading to carbon monoxide poisoning.  About 53,000 washers were sold in the US and 1750 were sold in Canada at home improvement and hardware stores and online sites including Ace Hardware, Amazon, City Electric Supply, Costco, Do It Best, eBay, Essendant, Fastenal, Home Depot, Lowe’s Stores, Menard’s, Orgill, Power Equipment Direct, Ravitsky Bros., Tractor Supply, True Value and Walmart.  Discontinue use of this pressure washer, remove the rechargeable battery, and contact Generac by phone at 1-855-625-2933 to arrange for a free replacement of the start/stop switch.
