A hooded dryer that I'm sitting under right now....I'm convinved that the college's plugs mess up every friggin cord ever. They all begin to melt, malfunction, or blow up. And the hood dryer is plugged into the surge protector. I moved it out the surge protector and put it in a single outlet....and it's still hott

I was thinking about going to Home Depot to get a higher quality surge protector, just in case.

It's definitely a fire hazard. You just need to have someone change your end of the cord out to a heavier end. My husband had to do it for my hair dryer. Hubby is an electrician.
