Hairstyling Irons
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The iron's "on/off" switch was installed incorrectly. When the iron is plugged in and switch is in the "off" position, the iron remains "on," which could pose fire and burn hazards.
The Recall Registry rates this serious — Fire or burn risk.
