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.

  1. No one hurt

    Made Feb 26, 2020, sent to the company Mar 4, 2020, published by CPSC Mar 18, 2020

    The product, in the report: Windmere Steam ‘N Glide Iron. 1100 watts

    Have been using Windmere Steam’n Glide Iron for about 1 year now. CAT No. WSI750C TY 1, purchased at Rite Aid, I believe. 1100 watts. Today, cord caught fire, with shooting flames, burning ironing pad, which did not propagate fire thankfully, and only stopped flaming when breaker tripped. Disconcerting and expensive fire. Product made in China.

    I took photos of the aftermath, which I can send. I can be reached at [REDACTED] or [REDACTED].
