That always seemed to me, to be a fabulous danger. Reach for your towel on the counter, tangled with the hair dryer cord and the hair-dryer is pulled into the bathtub. Yow!
In the US, the cord would likely pull out of the wall, safely.
- pjc50 3y ago> hair-dryer is pulled into the bathtub What hairdryer? British building regs restrict you to an isolated "shaver" socket in the bathroom which takes different plugs. You can't drop a hairdryer in the bath unless you play silly games with extension cables.
- OkayPhysicist 3y agoThe British paranoia about bathroom electrical devices has always amused me. Stick a GFCI on every outlet in the bathroom, then it doesn't matter if you're swimming with a toaster or an electric shaver. Heck, it was uncommon to even find a light switch inside the restroom.
