There is a recall for approximately 1.75 million Steamfast Home & Away Travel Steam Irons by Vornado. These irons have a number of safety issues, which include:
- Possible overheating from the power cord being damaged near the cord bushing
- Exposure of copper wires if the power cord is damaged
Such defects can result in burn injuries or a fire-related accident, as well as serious health complications from electric shock. The recall is for Steamfast brand Home and Away Travel Steam Irons with model numbers: SF-717, SF-720 and SF-727.
According to the manufacturer, you should stop using these irons immediately to prevent the possibility of an accident and visit the Steamfast or Vornado website for instructions on how to request a refund or replacement product.
This may be an acceptable remedy if you or your family has not been injured by this iron. But anyone that was in an accident has the right to monetary compensation, which we can discuss with you during a free case evaluation.
Injuries from a Defective Steam Iron
These irons have multiple defects that can lead to serious injuries for the user. These include:
- Severe burns
- Damage to the nerves, muscles, and underlying tissue
- Smoke inhalation injuries – respiratory distress, brain injury, loss of consciousness
- Cardiac arrest, brain and never damage, and other electric shock injuries
The consequences from any of these injuries can be life-altering, especially if you are permanently disabled. That’s why it’s essential to hold the manufacturer accountable and fight for the compensation you deserve.
What Steps Should I Take if I was Injured by this Product?
Obtaining compensation requires a strong case with solid evidence, which you can obtain by taking these steps:
- Take pictures or video footage of any injuries, the scene of the accident, and the product that is responsible for the damage.
- Go to a hospital / emergency room immediately to document your injuries and establish that it was caused by the accident.
- Contact Vornado and make them aware of the incident, but do not accept anything they offer, such as a refund or free product. This is a common ploy to reduce their liability and take away your right to a lawsuit.
- Contact a product injury lawsuit attorney, who will help you gather evidence and sue the manufacturer for medical expenses, property damage, and other monetary damages.
