- The internal electrical conductors are protected only by simple insulation and may come into contact with accessible metal parts. Moreover, the conductors are held in place only by a weld and may, as a result of wear and tear over time, become detached and slide into an opening on the hair-straightening irons, thereby making live parts accessible to the user. The user can therefore access live parts and receive an electric shock.
