On 10/28/2011 while the consumer attempting to plug the iron into the wall outlet she noticed that one of the prongs on the cord was missing and the other was stuck inside of the electrical outlet.
She did not remove the prong from the electrical outlet and her concerns are with it being there it could possibly pose as a fire hazard. She is unclear of how the prong came off and how long it has been in the outlet. There were no injuries.
