Description
The hair dryers recalled are the Eusonic models numbers 9318, 9329, and 2218. The model numbers are imprinted on the opposite side of the handle from where the slide switch is situated. The hair dryers are red, have a black slide switch and the word Eusonic is imprinted in black on the blower part of the hair dryer.
Hazard
The electric hair dryer's power cord does not have an immersion protection plug. Therefore, if the hair dryer falls into water during use, it can pose a shock and/or electrocution hazard.
Remedy
Consumers should stop using these hair dryers immediately and return them to the store where purchased to receive a full refund.
Incidents and injuries
None reported.
