The CPSC and Vornado now recall Steadfast Home & Away Travel Steam Irons as the power cord tends to deteriorate near its bushing leading to overheating and copper wire exposure leading to fire, burn, and shock hazards.  


About 1.75 million of these travel irons in the US and about 9,000 in Canada were sold at Walmart, Bed Bath & Beyond and other stores nationwide and online at Amazon.com, Vornado.com, Steamfast.com and at other websites.


Stop using these travel irons and visit either the Steadfast.com or the vornado.com websites to register for a refund or a free replacement iron.
