February 10, 2011 - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is recalling about 5,700 Sunbeam Convertible Irons because of a fire hazard that could lead to serious injuries and property damage.

The iron is susceptible to overheating because of problems with the wiring. Sunbeam Products, which is based in Florida, is aware of 17 reports of incidents in which irons overheated. Additionally, there were 3 reports of irons erupting in flames. However, no injuries had been reported as of February 3, 2011 in connection with the recalled irons.
