Refund for a photoRefund
The recalled steam cleaners can expel hot water or steam onto users while heating or during use, posing a burn hazard.
Cut the cord on your steam cleaner and upload a photo that shows the model number and the cut cord. You can then get a $40 refund or a $60 credit for BISSELL.com.
The percent beside each line is how sure the reader is of it. On Remedy the photo goes to Remedy instead, and is checked against this rule in seconds.
"how to cut the cord" sets cut_cord; "take and upload a photo of the steam cleaner showing the model number and cut cord" sets photo_required, web_form (www.BISSELL.com/steamshotrecall), and must_show whole_product, model_number, cut_or_damage. "a $40 refund" sets a fixed partial refund of 40, with a $60 BISSELL.com credit as the alternative. Source: Claude draft, then self-check, claude-opus-5-5, extracted Nov 5, 2026.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled steam cleaners, and contact BISSELL to receive either a $60 credit to be used towards a BISSELL.com purchase, or a $40 refund for each of the recalled steam cleaners. Consumers should visit www.BISSELL.com/steamshotrecall to register for the recall, and for instructions on how to cut the cord and take and upload a photo of the steam cleaner showing the model number and cut cord.

The self-check kept every field of the draft. Tokens: draft 3,345 in, 594 out; check 3,928 in, 620 out.
