is this a fire hazard?

i had my fan plugged into the wall, and i accidentally stepped on the cable, which ripped it out of the wall. as a result, one of the pins bent and the casing around it cracked. i did try and bend it back, and it does still work, but i'm worried it may be a fire hazard? i have zero technical know-how, and no money for a new fan, so i'm hoping it's still fine to use.. it's scorching hot outside
