I was using a Revlon flat iron to style my hair when I heard a loud popping sound and saw a ball of sparks exploding out of the place where the cord connects with the flat iron. While I managed to prevent my hair from catching fire, my arm was burned. In addition to the red burn, my arm had a black soot-like substance on it. Washing off this substance was painful due to the burn. Burn cream was used to treat the wound along with OTC medication for pain.

There is a company promoting magnetic headbands in my community. [REDACTED] The product name is Magneblooms and they are sold online at www.lehlashop.com. The headbands gave me a terrible headache when I wore them.

I own a Conair ION shine set of electric curlers, and have for over 8 years. Yesterday (September 28, 2016), I plugged in the curlers and returned no more than 10 minutes later. The curlers smelled like burning plastic. When I tried to remove a curler it was stuck to the base of the unit. I got one of the curlers out and the bottom was completed melted. I immediately unplugged the unit and when it cooled I could not remove any of curlers, as they were melted onto the unit. I contacted Conair today (September 29, 2016) and I was advised that the unit was out of warranty. I already knew this, and was contacting them on the safety issue of a potential fire hazard, not the question of warranty. I don't know if you can do anything to assist me, mainly I wanted to go on record in case anyone else had this issue. Thank you

**Product Name**:Dyson Airwrap **Manufacturer**: Dyson I have experienced repeated safety issues with the Dyson Airwrap, specifically with two round brush attachments. The attachment prongs, which appear to be made of plastic, lose their shape after the product heats up during use. As a result, the attachments no longer securely lock onto the machine and eventually dislodge. This issue first occurred with my original round brush attachment, which completely dislodged multiple times after losing its locking power. I had this attachment replaced after dozens of failures. However, the replacement attachment, which I received about two to three months ago, is already experiencing the same problem. It frequently becomes loose during use, despite my efforts to be cautious. On a recent occasion, the attachment completely dislodged from the machine while it was in use, causing a significant safety hazard. The attachment flew off and burned my chin, as it was extremely hot. This presents a serious risk of injury. I am fortunate that it only hit me, as my young daughter was nearby, and it could have easily flown off and hit her instead. The issue seems to lie with the material of the attachment prongs and the locking mechanism of the machine, which fail to function properly after extended use, particularly when exposed to heat. Given the potential for serious harm, I believe this product presents a safety risk and needs further investigation.

A Revlon curling iron (Model RV051) spontaneously started shooting 4" to 5" sparks out from near the tip. At the time, it was resting on the counter top (fortunately it was not being used on the hair at that moment, and was not near flammable materials, so no injuries or damage occurred). My wife was in the midst of using the product. Additional product information: "Helen of Troy" was embossed on the unit itself. On one of the electrical plug prongs was embossed the number "3621".

I was using a Revlon curling iron model# RV052 on the morning of 9/22/14 when it totally burned my hair off and also burnt my scalp. I have did some research on this model and there has been a lot of issues of this and also it exploding and shooting sparks out.

9-24-16 Message to Babyliss Pro Customer Service & the CPSC On September 22, 2016, my wife turned on her Babyliss Pro heated hair curlers and placed one in her hair before realizing that the curlers were so overheated that they were actually melting. Fortunately, she was able to get the curler out of her hair with only a mild burn to her scalp, and she quickly unplugged the unit. Attached are photos of one melted curler and the box of curlers, the latter of which shows other melted curlers inside. We thought you and the Consumer Products Safety Commission should be advised so that other consumers are alerted to this problem. I suspect that your unit has a defective thermostat, which allowed the dangerous overheating. The model number is BABCHV21. There is a bar code which I presume is the serial number of 0 7410805577 4. (Your system would not allow me to include the photos mentioned above. I will be happy to supply them.
