The product, in the report: Clover mini iron, clover mini iron II with adapter. This is a very small iron for quilters to press seams open, designed much like a hair curling iron. There is a safety cage on the underside of the iron, but not on the top 1/3, which is exposed. The entire metal piece can heat to 560 deg F. Why is the entire shaft not covered, except the tip, since it heats all through the shaft? This could easily be made safer.

2nd degree burn (bubbled blister) to my thumb while manipulating the iron, very brief contact. Treated at home with Aloe Vera.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(7/18/2023) CLOVER NEEDLECRAFT INC: We are currently unable to fully conceal the shaft due to potential safety concerns associated with enclosing it entirely, as doing so may lead to heat accumulation. Our future endeavors will focus on identifying materials featuring superior heat resistance and dissipation properties. Through rigorous testing and iterative improvements, we aim to progressively minimize shaft exposure in a safe and secure manner.

The product, in the report: Clover mini iron model 9100. white plastic body, metal iron plate and red guard over both sides, but not top or bottom, of the metal tube that holds the ironing plate. Per website the low temperature is 220 degrees F, the middle temperature is 390 degrees F and the high temperature is 560 degrees F

I was using the Clover mini iron model 9100 to iron a craft project. The barrel of the iron ( between the handle and the ironing plate is open with only a guard on the side, but not the top or bottom) gets hot and i placed my right index finger there on accident while trying to get better pressure to the ironing plate end. I have owned this iron for about 1-2 years but use it infrequently because i burn myself every time that i use it. I believe that the design is very flawed and i know that i am not the only person who has burned themselves badly with it. This time, i got a 2nd degree burn on my right index finger.

The product, in the report: Clover Mini Iron 2

I was using a Clover Mini Iron 2 earlier last week. When I use the mini iron, I keep it on the stand that came with the iron. In addition, the stand is kept on a mini ironing surface. I forgot to turn this iron off and it does not automatically shut off unfortunately! I went in to sew yesterday and found that the stand has completely melted and the iron was covered in melted plastic and had began to burn a hole through my ironing surface. Very dangerous! Plus there is a portion of the iron that does not cover a metal rod that makes it easy to burn your fingers. I am very fortunate that I went back in there to sew yesterday or I definitely think major damage could have been done to my home.

The product, in the report: Clover Mini Iron II

The item is a Clover Mini Iron II (model 9100). It is a small iron to be used in quilting and crafting. There is a shaft that goes from the handle to the ironing tip that gets very hot. It has a safety shield that goes around the bottom and sides of this shaft, but is totally open at the top. While ironing with it my finger accidentally touched the shaft on the open part at the top and I got a burn on my finger tip.
The safety shield should go all the way around the shaft.

The product, in the report: craft iron 120v 45w used to press small pieces

Often, when I or my students or family use the mini iron, a finger or hand comes in contact with the shaft which is exceedingly hot. This morning when I burned myself, it blistered.

Clover Needlecraft, Inc. 1441 South Carlos Ave. Ontario, Ca 91761
[REDACTED]
3) Report Number About Which Comment Is Made
20110903-71FA6-2147475672 4) Comment Clover stands behind the quality of our merchandise completey and takes the safety concerns of its customers very seriously. We encourage all customers with any questions or suggestions to contact Clover directly at (800) 233-1703. We appreciate all customers who contact us, and do our best to address their concerns as well as to gain their feedback on our products. The current design of the Safety Shield actually promotes the safety of the mini-iron by allowing ventilation for the heat generated by the metal shaft to dissipate more quickly, which in turn allows the metal shaft to cool down more quickly. As with any product that generates heat, adherence to the written warnings on the product itself, in addition to the written safety precautions on both the product packaging and the accompanying product instructions, can help prevent accidents from happening. The Mini Iron in question contains numerous warning and safety precautions as listed below. On the handle of the Mini Iron itself, Clover has placed a prominent written warning, which states, “Do not touch the Metal Part and Safety Shield to avoid the burn caused by high temperatures.” In addition, the product packaging for the Mini Iron states, “Keep out of the reach of children”, and also states, “Read all instructions provided before using The Mini Iron II”. The written instructions that come with the Mini Iron II contain a section (in all capital letters) entitled “IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS”, which contains the following important precautions: “CAUTION – The Mini Iron II reaches high temperatures.” “The iron part (the metal part), the shaft and the wire part of the stand will become very hot.” “Do not touch, they could cause burns.” “The cover serves to protect the operator’s hand from touching the shaft, and is not intended to be used as a handle. Please hold the handle when using Mini Iron II.” Clover has always been, and remains, committed to producing safe, enjoyable products for its customers.
