Fire on a client? That's a lawsuit waiting to happen!

Honestly, the bigger problem here is what happens when insurance finds out you were using unlisted, non-commercial equipment in a professional setting. Most salon policies have a clause about approved tools, and a cheap pair of clippers that literally caught fire would void your coverage real quick. That client could sue you personally, not the seller, because you chose to use the product on them. The platform will just refund you and move on, but your reputation and bank account are on the line. Nobody talks about how using random Amazon gear can make your liability insurance useless.

$80 for clippers that caught fire? Were these from some random Amazon brand with no safety certifications? I've seen too many people chase cheap deals on tools that clearly cut corners on quality control. A fire in a salon is not just losing the tool, that's a liability nightmare if the client decides to sue. Did you contact the seller and the platform you bought them from, or did they ghost you like these drop shippers usually do when something goes wrong? That brand should be named and shamed so others don't make the same mistake.
