ghd Gold 1" Flat Iron Hair Straightener

Bought this for my wife for Christmas 2020, it was $200 at the time but my wife said it was worth it as it was a great straightener. It's worked great up until now when the swivel style power cord has become internally defective in the relief portion of the cord. The power cord was a lot easier than expected to remove, but the problem is there are NO replacement cords anywhere, at least not US outlet cables. I reached out to ghd support asking where I can purchase replacement parts and they offer no repair service or replacement parts, so unless your item is still under warranty you're boned and your otherwise working straightener becomes e-waste. A $200 straightener should last longer than 3 years...
