What was recalled
This recall involves Joy/JM-branded My Little Steamer and My Little Steamer Go Mini handheld clothing steamers.

The steamers were sold in two sizes: the standard (or deluxe) full-size My Little Steamer or the compact-size My Little Steamer Go Mini. The steamers were sold individually or in combination sets in a variety of colors, including black, white, red, purple, and teal.
