Approximately [750,000 units were recently recalled]() across North America due to a severe burn hazard. These cleaners were sold online at Dupray.com and in stores and online at Home Depot, Lowe’s, Macy’s, Walmart, Amazon.com, and other retailers from April 2018 through December 2025 for about $150. Here we explain how to check if you are using the recalled model, the safety risks involved, and what to do next to remedy this situation. ## Safety Risk Identified The problem is that the steam cleaner’s boiler can rupture if it is overfilled, corroded, and the pressure release valve (boiler cap) malfunctions, causing it to explode or leak scalding steam that poses a risk of burn hazards or serious injury to users and bystanders. As of January 20, 2026, the company has received at least 15 reports of boiler ruptures that have resulted in both property damage and physical injuries, including minor burns, bruises, lacerations, and a broken wrist. Because these malfunctions can happen without warning during use, safety officials and the manufacturer ask that consumers immediately stop using the recalled product. The remedy is a free replacement safety boiler cap that has been modified to prevent these valve issues. ## Check if You Have the Recalled Model The specific model impacted is DUP020WNA, a lightweight, portable, cube-shaped unit. It typically features a white base connected to a black flexible hose and a handheld wand. Look for the Model Number DUP020WNA and Batch/Date Code 0118-01 through 0425-05 on the rating label located on the bottom of the cleaner. Note that units bearing batch/date codes 0525-XX and later are not part of this recall. ## Order a Free Replacement Safety Boiler Cap For most consumers, the official remedy provided by Dupray and safety officials, such as the Consumer Product Safety Commission, is a simple repair that entails a free replacement safety boiler cap. This modified cap acts as a pressure-release valve and is designed to prevent the boiler from malfunctioning or rupturing. Contact Dupray for a free replacement safety boiler cap, which is designed to be easily installed with a simple screw-on mechanism. You’ll need to share the batch code of your unit, which is found on the bottom of the cleaner.
