- On Aug. 28, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced that RYOBI is recalling about 764,000 electric power washers, including model RY142300.
- The recalled machines have a capacitor defect that causes the pressure washer capacitor to overheat and burst, ejecting parts and risking serious injury to users and bystanders.

- Owners are instructed to stop using recalled washers and visit ryobitools.com/recall or call RYOBI Customer Service at 1-800-597-9624 to request a free repair kit; proof of purchase is not required.
- Sold between July 2017 and June 2024, the models retailed for about $300 to $400 at Home Depot, Direct Tools Factory Outlet, and online, with around 16,000 units sold in Canada.
