I got the crap scared out of me the other day. I went to plug my curling iron in and it made a Loud popping sound and the cord basically blew up in my hand. I got a really deep burn between my pointer finger and middle finger from the copper wire that melted instantly. You can't see it from the picture because of the black smoke that I have tried to wash of a dozen times. My outlets in my bathroom don't work now... want a pain in the butt!!!
