(CNN) – About two million hand steamers have been recalled.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission says the problem is they can spray hot water where the steam is supposed to come out.

The units were sold under the brand names Steamfast, Vornado and Sharper Image.

Vornado has received 122 reports of water spraying, including 23 reports of burns.

The steamers were sold at Walmart, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Amazon and other retailers.

Affected customers can get refunds or replacement units.

About 13,000 of them were also sold in Canada.
