Toothbrush Sabotage?
Charlotte Bowers, 33, had no issues with the Oral B rechargeable toothbrush for eight months, kissing it morning at night for at least two minutes as recommended. Charlotte had no reason to expect bad behavior then last month it “spontaneously combusted” while she was asleep. The explosion caused the toothbrush to catch fire, but thankfully the steel shelf and the steel frame around her bathroom mirror prevented the flames from spreading far. Charlotte, from Manchester England said that if it wasn’t for the mirror, she and her partner could have ended up dead. She said she will now never use an electric toothbrush again, as it’s “not worth the risk.”
Charlotte added Oral B have only offered her $46 or a new toothbrush – despite the $267 cost to fix the damage. Charlotte, who works for Network Rail said: “It scared the living daylights out of me. “I can’t believe something like that would happen, I’ve never heard of this happening before. “I walked into the bathroom one morning and saw my electric toothbrush had exploded in the middle of the night and caught on fire” There was no warning, it wasn’t dodgy or anything, it had been completely fine for eight months. There’s no way it could have been anything I did, as I always kept it dry and I hadn’t left it on charge. It left me shell shocked for about a week.”
Charlotte said that if the mirror hadn’t been there, the whole house would have gone up in flames, and she would have ended up dead. The flames also hit the exhaust fan, which luckily wasn’t on, completely destroying it. The fire left the bathroom covered in black smoke, so Charlotte and her partner had to repaint the whole bathroom, spending $267 on special paint that masked the smell of the smoke. Charlotte has complained about the situation to Oral B and asked for compensation to cover the cost of the paint.” “I’m not asking for thousands of pounds of compensation, I just want them to cover the cost of the paint.” A spokesperson for Oral B said: “We understand how upsetting this experience must have been and take any safety reports very seriously. “Though the cause of the fire remains unknown, it’s important to know that an unplugged cordless toothbrush does not contain enough energy to cause a fire.”
Hygiene hypocrisy
One day the toothbrush had enough of it and said “damn, I have the filthiest job in the whole
ide world.” The toilet paper replied: “Are you sure?”
I visited the birthplace of the man who invented the toothbrush today.
There’s no plaque.
I didn’t know I had to actually put my electric toothbrush in my mouth?
I thought it was Bluetooth.
You can’t break an electric toothbrush.
If it stops working, it just becomes a toothbrush.
Chuck Norris’s teeth….(rest his soul)
cleaned the toothbrush.
