Conair, recognizing the harmful effects of asbestos, uses only mica in our products. Mica is a safer and more durable element. Our products are designed for the voltage ratings shown on each product. They are not designed to be used with a voltage converter. We do however, offer dryers and curling irons with dual voltage capability for worldwide travel.
Safety is an important concern.
Our line cords are designed to provide adequate length for your styling comfort. We do not recommend this practice. We do not repair. Please enclose a check or money order in the amount specified in the warranty instructions of the manual received with your unit to cover return shipping and handling. The last one I purchased came packed with one.
