Velform Sauna Belt!

This is one of the funnier infomercials I've seen recently.

It's basically a belt you put on to sweat your fat away. The infomercial is so ridiculous that it has people doing flips and spinning torches in a hawaiian setting.

I decided to look for it on google and one of the first pages was

Pretty bad:

The belt was plugged into wall socket by my bed. My daughter was sleeping in the bed and while she was sleeping she may have accidently hit the knob and the belt was turned on. I smelled smoke went to check things out and found my bed with my daughter on it smoldering. The only thing left that I saw before my house went up in smoke was the cord burning into my mattress. I lost my house, all our belongings and one of my dogs and all my birds. Most definitly not a very happy person and the company should be held accountable for this.
This was kind of sad. But after reading it i thought it's kind of her fault for leaving it plugged in...
