After recovering from a small burn to her hand, Erika posted the flaming video on Facebook entitled "Talk about a bad hair day."

Schoolbred said Amazon refunded her the money and took the product off its website after she submitted a product safety form online.



Schoolbred has yet to hear from Amazon or Oracorp the manufacturer.
