Electric hand-held hair dryers Recalled for Laceration Hazard
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 You Should Do
Remedy
Stop using these hair dryers immediately and return the unit to the firm for a replacement unit that has an immersion protection device.
