Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20250114-83D5A-2147333912. Severity: Injury, Seen by Medical Professional. Product: Ryobi RY142711VNM (RYOBI RY142711 2700 PSI 1.1 GPM Cold Water Electric Pressure Washer). Incident: My Ryobi RY142711VNM (2700 PSI 1.1 GPM) Electric Pressure Washer exploded. As I pressed the power button to activate the machine, the top of the unit suddenly exploded with significant force. The explosion caused internal components to eject from the machine, accompanied by a loud noise and a strong burning odor. Upon inspection, I observed that a component inside the machine, possibly a capacitor, had exploded. The incident left the interior of the unit burned and coated with a black, soot-like residue. Additionally, the wiring was completely disconnected, and the force of the explosion dislodged the screwed-on cover and the power button. This incident occurred at the moment of startup and resulted in an injury to my right-hand index finger.
