Working with a new puppy put me in a bit of a rush this morning prior to leaving for work. I'm extrememly good at unplugging my stuff in the morning but for some reason I don't remember unplugging my CHI Straightening Iron that would have been left on my ceramic counter top. There is nothing next to it that I should worry about catching fire but now that I'm at work I'm worried about the 100+ temperature this thing operates at. I won't be home until mid-afternoon, does anyone know if this thing could cause a house fire????? Please help, I'm worried. Thanks.

I had a Farouk Chi straightening iron that stopped working. I've had it less than a year and found out that it is not covered under warranty because the warranty is VOID if purchased on the internet. I purchased it on Amazon.com, so I guess I'm SOL. Needless to say, I am TICKED at Farouk and will definitely not buy another iron from them. I was happy with it until it broke. I am looking for recommendations on another salon quality ceramic straightening iron, preferably one that someone has been using for a year or more so I know it's durable. Thanks!
