The product, in the report: Rechargeable hair dryer. Color grey. Hand held. 91/2 inches high X 6 inches long.
We have a recently bought cordless hair dryer from WHS corporation. I have been noticing that the dryer didn’t seem to keep charging when it was on the charger. (Light would stop blinking after a couple of minutes, after being used). I looked at the area in the recharge stand and noticed that the plastic is melted around the contacts. I have pictures of it, if you need them. This is definitely a fire hazard. I also can’t get it to charge anymore. I am not going to use it again.
