BAYOTAK USA pressure washers recalled for electrocution hazard due to missing GFCI protection
What this means
BAYOTAK USA-branded electric pressure washers (model C4012PLUS-1500C) lack a required ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI) safety device. This missing protection creates a serious risk of electric shock or electrocution during use. About 360 units were sold online between October 2025 and January 2026.
- Stop using the pressure washer immediately.
- Unplug it and cut the power cord in half.
- Take a photo of the destroyed cord and email it to bayotakservice@163.com.
- Contact BAYOTAK USA for a free replacement of equal or greater value and return shipping.

The agency's original wording
The recalled pressure washers lack an integral ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI), posing a serious risk of injury or death from shock and electrocution hazards.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled pressure washers and contact BATOYAK USA for a free replacement pressure washer of at least equal value to the recalled pressure washer, including shipping. Consumers will be asked to destroy the pressure washer by unplugging it and cutting the power cord in half and send a photo of the destroyed power washer to bayotakservice@163.com. Consumers should then dispose of the destroyed recalled product.
