BISSELL Vacuum Cleaner Recall Due To Fire Hazard

BISSELL is voluntarily recalling its BISSELL Cordless Multi-Surface Wet Dry Vacuum cleaners due to a fire hazard risk.

The company says that, in rare instances, some battery management circuit boards may be susceptible to localized hot spots, posing a risk of overheating and possible risk of fire.

BISSELL asks that consumers immediately stop using the vacuum and search for the model number behind the clean water tank. The number will be listed on a large black bar on the product information sticker. 

The Bissel vaccum cleaner recall involves BISSELL Multi Reach Hand and Floor Vacuum Cleaners models 1985, 19851 (also called Multi Auto), 19859, 1985T, 2151, 21512, 21513, 21517, 21518, 21519, 2151A, 2151T, 2151W, 2151V. 

“Multi Reach” is printed on the hand vacuum portion of the product. The vacuum cleaners were sold in a variety of colors. The model numbers are printed on the product rating label located behind the dirt tank.

If your model number is subject to the product recall, then remove your vacuum from the charging base.

Consumers can receive a free battery pack replacement by visiting their nearest BISSELL Authorized Service Center with their vacuum or by contacting BISSELL to schedule a free in-home repair visit from an authorized BISSELL service technician to replace the existing battery pack inside the vacuum.

Consumers can contact BISSELL at: 1-855-417-7001 from 9 A.M. to 9 P.M. ET Monday through Friday and 9 A.M. to 8 P.M. ET on Saturday.
