No not one of those. I don't even remember what it was. I've had it for awhile and had never notices any ware on the cord. It worked well up until today, it actually worked better than the new one I have. I guess it just finally got tired and wanted to rest.
I never leave my irons plugged in and will have to reconsider leaving the toaster plugged in. I check my cords for my sewing machine because I don't leave them plugged in. I guess the movement of the iron just helped to ware on it.
