The power cord on my space heater melted while I used it

I’m always paranoid and afraid of fire hazards.

Back when I was a little kid I played with a lighter in my garage and almost caught it on fire.

It was a scary experience for sure. But at the time, I thought I was having a lot of fun doing it. Sometimes I would even blow up little balloons using the propellant tank from an airbrush. Usually this air would either contain ozone or propane at times. You could fill up a balloon and pop it with a match and it would explode with flames. It was pretty exciting at the time, but it was extremely dangerous and hazardous. I could have honestly caught the entire house on fire if I hadn’t been more careful. I’ve read stories about people having strange reactions from different appliances as well. For instance, I had a little miniature drink cooler fridge that started to melt on the back where the cord plugs in. If I hadn’t found it when I did, it could have started a fire. The same thing happens with the power cords for space heaters it seems. Before this recently happened to myself, I had read about it in the review section of several different space heaters that I saw on the internet. People say they’ll turn on the space heater and after an hour if you use the power cord then starts to melt into the floor. I’m not even sure why this happens, but it happened to me too. And so that’s why I’ve been so scared about using space heaters anymore.
