Personally, I love my Rowenta iron and it doesn't have that warning about lead. I do unplug it after use, per the instructions. Sometimes I think the warnings that have to be included on electronics cross the line into absurdity. I just bought a new hairdryer & in addition to telling me not to dry my hair in the bath, it said not to dry it in the shower. My curling wand came with a huge warning that the iron could burn my eyes. I couldn't figure out for the life of me what was with this huge red insert with such a serious warning -- turns out some idiot somewhere tried to curl her eyelashes with a curling iron.

My iron did come with a warning not to fill the water chamber with "water" from an air conditioner or dehumidifier. It's tough at times trying to sort through which things are legitimate warnings because there are so many things included to protect companies from lawsuits by people with no common sense.
