does any one know anything about sending them back if they break?
some one said that if they break you send then back and they will fix or replace them?

You take them back to the shop you bought them from, and they send them to the company I think. My gf's died also. Its something to do with the wiring being a bit dodgey, so when they are wrapped up, the circuit breaks

Yeah if you wrap the cord too tight on the bottom it knackers the wiring up. My Gf's did the same.

Well how old are they dude? If they are failry new, take them back to the shop, with receipt, or warranty card, or both (not sure about that bit) and they should send them away to be replaced

take them back from where you got them from and they will send em back.
if faulty they should replace them free of charge.

I thought this...it's bollocks
The answer to stopping them catching fire, as with any electrical goods is to unplug them.
