Onika Iron Recalled by Bargain Wholesale

⚠️ The irons have inappropriate size wiring, which can cause a fire. The plastic housings of the irons are not resistant to ignition. Additionally, the irons present a potential scald hazard during use. If they are tilted downward, a shower of hot water is unexpectedly emitted.

Is this relevant to me?
