Michelleoc, that is too funny. Don't iron clothes while you are wearing them. That warning tells me that someone actually did that, so they had to put the warning on the instructions. Some people are so stupid!!! I agree, you should take it back. They should not use clear plastic and at least put a warning in bright print on the plastic.

Since it's brand new, I'd take it back. My local dealer has these little iron cleaner sheets that I purchased when they went on sale and worked great (I think it's called BoNash?).
