NNE Steam/Dry & Spray Electric Irons With Detachable Water Tanks
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Leon Korol Company is recalling over 5,000 electric irons (model YPZ-100) sold nationwide from December 1995 through February 1996 at discount stores for approximately $10. The irons, made of white or red plastic with a detachable water tank and packaged in a light blue cardboard box labeled "NNE Steam/Dry & Spray Electric Iron With Detachable Water Tank," pose a fire hazard because the thermostat lacks a back-up protective device to prevent overheating. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission received one report of an iron catching fire while in the "OFF" position, though no injuries or property damage occurred.
Consumers who own this iron should immediately stop using it and return it to the store where it was purchased for a full refund. For more information about the recall, consumers can call Leon Korol Company toll-free at (888) 798-2004.
