Empower Brands Recalls Remington Hair Dryers Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Electrocution and Shock Hazards

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The hazard

The handheld hair dryers lack an immersion protection device, which presents a substantial product hazard to consumers, posing the risk of death or serious injury from electrocution or shock if the hair dryers fall into water while plugged in.

What to do

Consumers should immediately unplug and stop using the recalled hair dryers and contact Empower Brands to receive a full refund. Consumers must submit a photo of the hair dryer with its power cord cut in half to the recall registration portal at https://www.remingtonproducts.com/product-recalls and follow the disposal instructions provided on the website.
