CPSC, Remington Products Co., LLC Re-Announce Recall of Hairdryers Firm Offering Free Upgraded Replacement Hairdryer

CPSC · 02216 · published 2002-07-30

CPSC campaign 02216

Hazard

These hairdryers are not equipped with an appliance leakage current interrupter (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. Owners of the recalled hair dryers will be sent a postage-paid shipping container to return their unit to Remington. Consumers will receive a new 1875-watt Vortex hair dryer with an ALCI plug.

The text above is quoted verbatim from the CPSC record. Confirm the affected units and the remedy with the manufacturer or CPSC. Recall data may be incomplete, delayed, or superseded.
