SPARTANBURG, S.C. – A South Carolina woman says her new hair dryer turned into a "blowtorch" after flames shot out when she turned it on.
Erika Shoolbred, of Spartanburg, posted about the "hair frier" on Facebook Monday, saying she had received the item through Amazon.
The post read, "Talk about a bad hair day! My new hair dryer (more like hair frier) from OraCorp on Amazon.com became a blow torch on its first use this morning."
The dryer left a small burn on her hand and produced a bad smell in her bathroom.
Shoolbred wrote that Amazon has refunded her money, but said she's still "a bit shaken":
Amazon has since pulled the item from its website, but neither OraCorp nor Amazon returned requests for comment, according to Newsweek.
