317,000 Travel Steam Irons Recalled for Burn Hazard

May 4, 2023 — Vornado has recalled more than 317,000 Steamfast® and Brookstone® Steam Bug Travel Steam Irons that can cause fires and burn injuries.

The problem is that the power cord can become damaged near the cord bushing (where the cord attaches to the steamer). This can cause the cord to overheat, posing fire and burn hazards.

Another problem is that cord damage near the bushing can expose copper wires, which could potentially cause electrocution injuries.

There were 50 reports of incidents, according to Vornado, including 38 reports of the power cord overheating, burning, smoking, or sparking.

The recall involves units that were sold between January 2008 and May 2018 at stores like Walmart, Bed Bath & Beyond, Brookstone, other stores and online.

The following products are being recalled:

• Steamfast Home and Away Travel Steam Irons with Dual Voltage: Model Number SF-717 (sold nationwide), or SF-720 (sold only at Bed Bath & Beyond) — Production Date Codes JAN08 through MAR17 or 01/08 and 03/17
• Steamfast Home and Away Travel Steam Irons with Dual Voltage: Model Number SF-727 (sold only at Walmart) — Production Code JAN17 only
• Brookstone Steam Bug Travel Steam Irons: Model 606335 — Sold only at Brookstone from 2009 to 2013

Vornado is asking consumers to stop using the steamers and register for a refund online at https://www.steamfast.com/recalls/travelirons.
