What the hell are those green sparks?

I bought this budget hairdryer a few months ago, after the previous one took fire. Is this one going to follow as well?

It is running at full speed, sparks are present no matter if heat is turned on or not.

What's the model? Does it have ionization? Is there a green status light that could be failing?
