What is this? This is a Philips steam iron that may have a bad weld in its steam boiler. That bad weld can let steam leak out in a way that may burn you.

What's happening? Philips found that some of these irons have a weak spot in the boiler. Steam can come out where it shouldn’t and cause burns.

Does this affect me? Only irons with serial numbers 2421, 2422, or 2423 are involved. Check the bottom of your iron.

What should I do? Stop using the iron right away. Call Philips customer service to arrange a repair or replacement.
