Tideway High-Speed Hair Dryers Recalled for Electrocution Hazard

Focusee is recalling about 27,400 Tideway High-Speed Hair Dryers because they lack immersion protection and pose an electrocution or shock hazard if they fall into water while plugged in. Consumers should stop using the product immediately.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is a risk-of-harm product (electrocution hazard from water immersion) where no injury has yet been reported, placing it at the "High" severity level per the rubric. The hazard is substantial and inherent to the product design, but the theoretical nature of the risk without reported injuries prevents a higher classification.

The handheld hair dryers lack an immersion protection device, creating an electrocution or shock hazard if they fall into water while plugged in. The CPSC has determined that hair dryers not equipped with integral immersion protection present a substantial product hazard.
