Can I use the bathtub if the hair dryer falls into the water?
A hairdryer fell into the bath. Knocked out traffic jams in the apartment. The hair dryer was disconnected from the outlet and pulled out of the bathtub, the water was drained. Question: can I use the bathroom, touch it? If not, what to do?

If you removed the hair dryer from the bath, then there is nothing to fear. The question is different, why do you think that you can’t touch it now?
Allow me to continue the topic.
Are all bathtubs dangerous when a hair dryer (conductor with potential in general) falls in them, or are they only grounded?
In other words, is it possible to somehow protect users, except for RCDs and the lack of outlets in the bathroom? For example, what about bathrooms and plastic pipes?
In fact, the bath is also grounded to “protect” it. The material of the pipes, although it matters, but tap water is also a conductor. Accordingly, a potential difference may occur on ungrounded baths.
