Summary

What's the hazard
These electric pressure washers do not have a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) on the power cord, which poses a serious electrocution hazard if the unit comes into contact with water.

Tristar will send consumers a portable GFCI that can be attached to the end of the power cord, which will provide consumers with shock protection.
