How badly anyone was hurt

  • No one hurt 1 CPSC: Incident, No Injury

As each report says it, in short words; CPSC’s own words are under each.

The reports, as CPSC published them

Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

    The product, in the report: Sapporo gravity feed iron on amazon

    This is for Sapporo Gravity Feed Bottle Steam Iron Kit - Includes SP527 Gravity Feed Bottle Steam Iron, Two Inline Demineralizer Cartridges & Magic Glide Non-Stick Ironing Shoe found at [REDACTED]

    Product has strong chemical smell and VOC offgassing. Even after 3 days of exposure to outside air, 2 mechanical fans and a HEPA air purifier, product still irritated throat, caused headache and nausea. I have bought gravity feed irons before because I need them for work but this product is very unsafe. No way can this kind of chemical offgassing be allowed to a regular US consumer.
