Hazard

The irons have inappropriate size wiring, which can cause a fire. The plastic housings of the irons are not resistant to ignition. Additionally, the irons present a potential scald hazard during use. If they are tilted downward, a shower of hot water is unexpectedly emitted.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately stop using this item and return it to the place of purchase, for a full refund.

Product description

The unlabeled iron is made of gray plastic. Writing on the electric cord reads, in part, "CH0001708-91." The iron, along with a water measuring cup and a nap brush, is packaged in a red box labeled, in part, "Onika Steam/Dry Spray Iron ... ZQYD150g ... UL ... Made in Taiwan."

Sold on

Discount stores in the western U.S. sold these irons, from January 1997 through June 1998, for about $4.
