Very exposed elements. Very easy for a child to touch or more likely touch with a knife. Most young children can be 'twits'.

Times have changed and there is no respect for electricity and it's possible hazards to which my generation were taught.

As I posted, A bit of fun but a hazard in the MODERN home to say nothing of a fire risk when you forget to turn it over!

Would I have let my mother use it? No! Regards, John.

PS The last thing we want is a tragic accident caused by this and other dangerous items such as open bar fires and aged electric blankets!
