There hasn't yet been a recall on the Dritz, but it is the exact same iron as the Steamfast and has the same issue - the strain relief where the cord goes into the iron is much to short and flexible and allows the cord to bend repeatedly at too sharp an angle, causing it to short out and cause a fire.
