    The product, in the report: Parlux 3800 Hair Dryer

    Parlux blow dryer (manufactured by Turbo Power Inc) caught fire and it was VERY hard to put out the fire. Unplugged it, turned it off and no matter how much water I ran through the machine, it kept smoking and at one point re-lit. I finally had to fill my sink and submerge the unit entirely to stop the fire.
