Hazard

These hairdryers are not equipped with an appliance leakage current interrupter plug (ALCI plug) to cut off electrical current in case of contact with water. If dropped in water, the hairdryers pose an electrocution hazard to consumers.

Remedy

Consumers should stop using the hairdryers immediately, and return them to the store where purchased for a full refund. Consumers also can mail the hairdryers to Remington Products Co., LLC, 60 Main St., Bridgeport, Conn. 06604. Consumers will be reimbursed the cost of shipping and should indicate whether they prefer a full refund or replacement hairdryer (which includes an ALCI plug).
