CPSC, Light Distribution Inc. Announce Recall of Hair Dryers

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

The hazard

These hair dryers do not have an immersion protection device or ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) on the power cord, which poses a serious electrocution hazard if dropped in water. In 1991, a voluntary standard was implemented that called for all hair dryers used by consumers to protect against electrocution in both the "on" and "off" positions.

What to do

Stop using these hair dryers immediately and return the unit to the firm for a free replacement unit.
