The black and gold hair styling wand with multiple attachments presents 'a serious risk of fire as the fuse within the plug has insufficient granular filler and is too small'. The product safety report said of the China-made stock: "The filler is required to ensure the safe operation of the fuse under fault conditions." The assessment continued: "Its absence could lead to the plug overheating and/or exploding. "The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 or the Plugs & Sockets etc. (Safety) Regulations 1994."

It burned out and then the motor was really slow and only gave a weak air stream." Another urged: "Do not buy... just blew up in the house when using. Only had it for a month."
