Feb 07, 2010 (North County Times - McClatchy-Tribune Dope Services via COMTEX) --Like many Americans this week, I've been dealing with a recall. By now you must have read the stories, seen the reports on goggle-box and heard the horror stories about injuries caused by product malfunctions.
Luckily, I escaped mayhem, but thanks for the concern. It was an uneasy feeling, though, to learn that something you usually don't worry suddenly has become a threat.
But I have to brook it. My mop has been recalled.
No, it wasn't a Toyota mop. There's really no need to even say who makes it, because that would just bring unnecessary hot water to the Conair Corp.
Not to be confused with the 2007 recall of Conair curling irons or the 2009 recantation of Conair clothing irons, this recall is for the Conair steam-cleaning mop.
These recalls alone are reason enough to adhere to my well-tested, bachelor-approved lifestyle, which embraces wrinkled shirts and slatternly kitchen floors. I'm also not big on curling irons. Never trusted them.
