I think that is a marvelous idea, and I don't know why I gave it a thought before. I have now plugged my iron into a plug that only turns on when I turn on the light. It means I will have to have that light on when it may not be needed but it is an additional nod to safety, in addition to my shut off. I have never left my iron face down before but I did today. So like I said, things happen or at least they did to me.
