Seems the @USCPSC continues to pursue bad actors selling pressure washers with no GFCI involving @amazon@BestBuy@Walmart@Target@Kohls@Lowes putting these marketplaces on notice that they need to ensure safety certifications are in place any active listing!
More (+3) no-GFCI electric pressure washer injuries reported by @USCPSC today. Lanchez and @amazon finally coming to terms with many electrical shock injuries they are causing to US consumers. Major safety recall incoming soon, likely in the 10's of thousands.

@michaelpatron0 So @amazon turned a blind eye to 1P and 3P Li Ion and pressure washer safety while they captured huge market share and attention to their platform, and is now implementing what others like @HomeDepot and @Lowes have been doing for decades. It's not an oversight, it's a strategy
Fairy Dust! The name of class action suit for using same engine, and changing the ratings to justify higher prices to scam consumers by @classactionlaw - is @amazon doing similar with electric pressure washers - FYI @ftc@SenBlumenthal
Zelonpro and @amazon coordinating a re-launch of various non-GFCI electric pressure washers into the market, and units exactly like the previously @USCPSC recalled models.

This is likely just for Electric Pressure Washers because of electricity dangers in combination with high pressure water usage. Gas pressure washers typically do not get regulatory listed because their dangers are completely different (hot muffler, gas leaks, vibration, etc)
"For Pressure Washers to legally @Sell_on_Amazon you must provide test reports... within the previous 12 months." So what about all the non-gfci models currently being 1st party sold-shipped by @amazon, wait until they sell through or Woot? @USCPSC Hey @Walmart what say you?
Just days after @USCPSC urges "do not sell", @amazon does not prevent a ton of new/sleeper listings of the same unit being activated. These are bad actors, syndicate mafia being facilitated by @Sell_on_Amazon and putting Americans at risk with hazardous pressure washers.
Here comes @Sell_on_Amazon 1st party selling-shipping (new April 23rd) non-gfci pressure washers under a fake brand (not 011) at the same time @USCPSC is recalling 3rd party sellers for the same violation. Unbelievable! @FTC@ncl_tweets@ConsumerReports
