The product, in the report: 1¼” PRO 24K Gold-plated Curling Iron
Pro Beauty Tools curling iron model SKU: PBIR1880. I had the curling iron plugged in my bathroom and it shorted out my circuit breaker. I believe there is a short in the wire as I tired to plug it in my bedroom and every time I moved the cord the Iron would shut on and off. There was no injury.
