Fake GHD Hair Straighteners Seized In Ireland

Just found a article on Gorey Gaurdian website about fake hair straighteners. GHD have issued a warning to the public about counterfeit hair straighteners currently on sale on the black market in the Gorey area, after three were seized at a market in North Wexford last week. The public have been warned to be careful around the festive period as many fakes will show up in local markets

The Gardai and representatives from GHD visited a market in the area last Friday, and seized three counterfeit GHD hair straighteners.

Brendan Cronin, Head of Sales with GHD Ireland said that the counterfeit products can cause problems and be very dangerous. ‘The consumers sometimes aren’t aware they are counterfeit and think they are getting a good deal,’ he said, adding that the quality of the counterfeit product is not as good, with inferior internal workings and electrical features. ‘We see thermostats not working properly and they don’t heat properly,’ he said. ‘Wires can pop out and this can lead to electrocution.’
