Hair straightener. Product sold online, in particular via eBay (product identifier: 365735966250).
Risk

Furthermore, the insulation between the live components and the metal plate is insufficient, increasing the risk of electric shock. Additionally, a decorative part of the hair straightener (the screw cover) can easily be detached and could be swallowed by a child.
