The product, in the report: ceramic blow dry with diffuser
While using the blow dryer on the hot/high setting for approximately five minutes the handle started to feel really hot so she set it down for a brief second when she noticed the plastic of the handle had begin to melt.
She unplugged it from the wall outlet ad placed it in the bath tub in case it was to catch fire. She has not used the dryer since the incident occurred because she fears that it could potentially pose as a fire hazard.
While doing some research online she noticed that other consumers experienced the same failure with the same model dryer. She indicate d that after reading the reports and the firm did not offer any of the consumers any assistance that she was not going to contact them.
