SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20260606-924D3-2147317703. Severity: Injury, Seen by Medical Professional. Product: Ryobi 2700 PSI (Ryobi Elecftric Pressure Washer - 2700 PSI). Incident: In using my 2700 PSI electric pressure washer, my son pushed the power button and it exploded. This was the first time it was being used today although it was used for approximately an hour the night before and worked fine. His hand was injured by flying pieces although the initial x-rays did not show any fractures. The top with the switch blew upwards and struck his hand. The machine was purchased in 24 or 25 at Home Depot in Chesapeake, VA. Please contact me to discuss. I have pictures of the machine. I am traying to find the purchase documents to see if there was an extended warranty. I am also contacting Home Depot. I do not want to file a lawsuit but the machine is ruined and my son has injuries. After the accident I researched this on line and discovered that this was apparently a recalled product. I was not aware of the recall. The explosion appears to be caused by the large capacitor which apparently exploded once the switch was turned on.
