ZAREI camping showers sold online recalled in the US over immersion-heater fire risk

CPSC says the kit’s heater can ignite when partly or completely outside water. Stop using the shower and contact Golden Resale for a refund.

What the primary source says

Golden Resale has recalled ZAREI camping-shower kits in the United States. CPSC’s 1 October notice covers the bucket-and-pump system with a 1500W immersion heater, identifiable by heart-shaped openings in its metal housing.

CPSC says the heater can ignite when partly or completely outside water. The kits were sold through Amazon.com and Walmart.com between February and August 2026.

Stop using the recalled shower immediately and contact Golden Resale for a full refund. Returns are handled through the marketplaces’ systems with prepaid packaging. Consult the official notice for contact details; its two telephone numbers differ.

This is a US recall; no UK recall is established.

Why it matters

The useful distinction

The heater’s operation outside water creates a specific fire hazard in an online-sold camping kit.
