Sunbeam Iron Recalled
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with Sunbeam Products Inc. has announced a voluntary recall of “Sunbeam Convertible Iron.” It is a blue and gray, hand-held garment iron that converts to a garment steamer. Consumers should immediately cease using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed.
The issue with the iron is that it can overheat and cause a fire because of a wiring issue, posing a risk of burn injury to consumers. Reportedly, Sunbeam has received 17 reports of irons overheating and three reports of irons catching on fire. The iron in question was sold at Bed Bath & Beyond stores nationwide from June 2010 to November 2010 for about $60, and was manufactured in China.
