Black Cat™ Electric Pressure Washers
Published August 18, 2025 · Recall initiated: January 23, 2002
What's the hazard
MCM International imported the pressure washers from a manufacturer in China, who installed counterfeit ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) plugs on some of the units, without MCM's approval. All of the plugs are labeled "WELLONG"; however, the pressure washers with counterfeit "WELLONG" GFCI plugs appear virtually identical to those with genuine "WELLONG" GFCIs. It will require a professional inspection to identify the counterfeit GFCIs. GFCIs are important safety devices that are intended to protect consumers against shock or electrocution.
What to do
Consumers should stop using these pressure washers and discard the product. A remedy is no longer available.
