What is this? A nail dryer used in salons may overheat, catch fire, or give an electric shock. Its plastic parts can melt and metal parts may not be safe.

What's happening? The dryer’s casing can get too hot and start a fire. Wires inside may not be held tightly, which can cause shocks.

Does this affect me? If you use this dryer in Hungary, it could be unsafe for you or your salon.

What should I do? Stop using it now and ask a pharmacist or doctor if you need help finding a safer dryer.
