The Consumer Product Safety Commission said TTI Outdoor Power Equipment recalled more than 764,000 RYOBI power washers.
The power washer’s capacitor can overheat and burst, “causing parts to be forcefully ejected.” The pieces can hit the user or bystanders, causing serious injuries, the CPSC said.
The recall affects two models - RY142300 and RY142711VNM. They are both green and have a spray nozzle, detergent tank and accessory storage.

They were sold at Home Depot and Direct Tools Factory Outlet stores and online from July 2017 to June 2024 for between $300 and $400.
There have been 135 reports of the capacitors overheating with 41 explosions and 32 injuries, including fractures to the fingers, hands, face and eyes, the CPSC said.
