Vornado is recalling approximately 317,000 Steamfast Home and Away and Brookstone Steam Bug Travel Steam Irons because the power cord can become damaged near the point where it attaches to the iron. This damage can cause the cord to smoke, spark, or overheat, posing fire and burn risks. There have been 50 reported incidents, including 38 reports of overheating and 12 reports of cord damage, although no injuries have occurred. Affected models were sold nationwide at major retailers like Walmart and Bed Bath & Beyond and online at Amazon between 2009 and 2018. Consumers should immediately stop using these irons and register with the manufacturer to receive a $19.99 refund.
The power cord's protective bushing can allow the internal wires to bend or break, leading to overheating, sparks, and potential fires. If the insulation is worn away, exposed copper wires can also cause an electric shock to the user.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled irons and visit the Steamfast or Vornado website to register for the recall and receive a refund of $19.99.
