The Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced the recall of more than 317,000 travel irons.
The CPSC said the power cords on the Steamfast Home & Away Travel Steam Irons and Brookstone Steam Bug Travel Steam Irons can become damaged near where the cord attaches to the iron, called the bushing. The damage could cause the cord to overheat, posing a burn or fire hazard, or if the wires are exposed, could pose a shock hazard.
The following irons have been recalled:
| Brand | Model number | Date code | Sold |
|---|---|---|---|
| Steamfast | SF-717 | January 2008 to March 2017 | Nationwide in US |
| SF-720 | January 2008 to March 2017 | Exclusively at Bed Bath and Beyond | |
| SF-727 | January 2017 | Exclusively at Walmart | |
| Brookstone | 606335 | All | Exclusively at Brookstone |
Owners of the irons are being told to stop using them immediately and to visit the Steamfast or Vornado websites to get a refund for $19.99.
