the product is a facial steamer when used exactly as described it spit out small bursts of boiling water which burned my face and torso. It was still the cheapest and I'm disabled and poor so I tried to keep using it at a farther distance and pointed the nozzle straight up. After a couple weeks the inside molded, there's no way to clean it or prevent this since it's impossible to access the inside chamber. Breathing in mold is a really good way to get a lung infection. fyi, colorado is a very dry state with very low humdity so stuff out here almost never molds from moisture. i didn't know you could actually report stuff until another item I'd bought was recalled

I was using the Higher Dose sauna blanket. Upon finishing and moving it I saw it burned through and blackened the carpet. Upon further inspection I noticed the mat itself had melted spots as well as on the inside.

The consumer’s wife turned the sauna on, and the circuit breaker tripped a few seconds later. Upon further inspection of the sauna, it was discovered that the power supply was completely fried. (approx. 6/16/2025): The consumer called the manufacturer was told that they have an old power supply and the company has a new design that they sell for: $350.00. The consumer did not purchase a new one and has been communicating with the company for the past month. This demonstrates that the company has a known issue and is not doing anything for prior owners. If he did not have an incident, he would have been aware of the new power supply. Damage was limited to the sauna.

Our electric sauna, made by VitalSaunas, caught fire at 2:30 a.m. on Monday June 16 at our summer home in [REDACTED]. Our dog heard the smoke detector and barked, thinking it was the front door bell and woke us up in upstairs bedrooms. We went down to find the sauna in flames, on the left side, back side, and right side where the heaters are located. The house burned completely to the ground. We are located 100' from the water of Long Island Sound, and there is constant breezes from the water which are corrosive to metal and circuit boards. The circuit board on the sauna sat on the roof unprotected except for [REDACTED] panels on top. The sauna was plugged in and had not been used in over a month.

The door to my sauna is 100% tempered glass. I was 15 minutes into my sauna (sauna set at 140 degrees F) when the glass door spontaneously and completely shattered with a loud explosion sound. I had to open the shattered door to get out and then glass flew in all directions totally covering my bare body with glass slivers / particles (some embedded). I sustained numerous cuts on the back of my hands, thigh, and tops of my feet. In one of the pictures you can see blood residue on the paper towel that my wife used to clean me. Luckily my wife was home to place towels over the projecting glass so I could get out of the sauna without serious foot injury. I took a long shower in an attempt to remove the small glass slivers / particles from my body but still have sensations of slivers, which I hope will subside. This information was immediately provided to the vendor of the sauna (Blue Wave Products) and later to the on-line company we purchased the sauna from (Family Pool Fun). Both entities appear to have taken this serious incident lightly - an incident which could have ended in a catastrophic situation. I received no feedback from the sauna vendor what quality controls / recalls have been or plan to be taken to prevent this in the future. They assert that nothing can be done for me because the warranty has expired. I have contested that this is beyond a mere warranty issue - it's a liability issue.

I turned my SaunaBox steam sauna on, less than 3 minutes later the water box was smoking. I barely touched the top of the lid (did not turn it, did not take it off) and it popped off and boiling water exploded all over my face. The water got all over my ceilings and walls as well. I was airlifted to [REDACTED] Hospital to their burn unit. I sustained 2nd degree burns to my face and right shoulder.

The Home Steam Sauna arrived yesterday; I assembled it and when I plugged in the steam unit it burst into flames, burned a hole in the carpet, melted plastic on tile, rug, and myself as I took the burning unit out of the house to avoid a house fire.

Fire originated from a professional facial steamer equipment
