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 Jan 5, 2019, sent to the company Mar 7, 2019, published by CPSC Mar 22, 2019

    The product, in the report: This is a small tool used by many crafters, sewists and quilters. It has interchangeable tips of varying shapes that get into small areas where a normal home iron cannot reach. It has an on-off switch that is embedded into the cord (making it more likely to forget to turn it off than a light on the tool itself as many similar tools have). The handle has a protector of sorts that partially surrounds the barrel to prevent direct contact with the heated barrel, but it is inadequate. The tips are also heavier than the rest of the barrel so when laid down, the hot tip contacts the surface on which it is laid. It does come with a stand -- of sorts -- which is pretty useless and flimsy since the tool frequently falls off the stand.

    Love this little iron for my sewing and crafting projects, BUT this iron gets way too hot...it could have burned the house down. It was accidentally left on for several hours and managed to burn through the cord, the cutting mat, and the wooden cutting table! The little flimsy stand that goes with it is not adequate. The protective barrel also does not work as intended since the heated tip is weighted and the iron tips past the protective covering. Mine did not come with a heat sleeve, although I think they may now be available separately.

    I have sent an email and photos to the manufacturer asking them to consider some safety options. Yes, I know I need to be more careful, but truthfully -- how many crafters have not forgotten to cut something off occasionally? My curling iron, my home iron, et al. all have auto shutoff. I am willing to pay extra for this. I will be buying a separate auto-off plug now for my glue gun, etc. but folks need to be warned about how hot this thing actually gets...it can do some serious damage.

    I have photos but could not paste into this text block.
