The product, in the report: Hair Dryer
My wife was using her hair dryer when she asked me to come up stairs. I came up and she said that the hair dryer started sparking and she went to unplug it and in the mist of doing so it burned a hole in her shirt and burnt her side of her breast. She got a bad burn and the shirt is ruined. I am outraged that a product would do this and still be on the market. This could have caused an electrical fire in the house and could have done more serious burns to her.
