The iron's thermostat does not have a back-up protective device to prevent overheating, which can present a fire hazard.

The iron (model YPZ-100) is made of white or red plastic, with a detachable water tank. The iron was packaged in a light blue, cardboard box labeled, "NNE Steam/Dry & Spray Electric Iron With Detachable Water Tank." The model number is located on a sticker on the back of the iron. The iron is imported from China by NNE International USA Inc. of Pomona, Calif. Discount stores sold the irons nationwide from December 1995 through February 1996 for about $10. Consumers should immediately stop using the irons, and return them to the store where purchased for a full refund.
