Hair Dryers Recalled for Missing Immersion Protection, Electrocution Risk
AliExpress is recalling about 980 Multi Styler Hair Dryers sold online from May 2023 through November 2024 because they lack an immersion protection device and pose an electrocution hazard if they fall into water while plugged in.
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: The source explicitly states no injuries have been reported. The electrocution hazard is conditional—occurring only if the hair dryer falls into water while plugged in. Per the rubric, risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported score at most 3 (High).
Plain-English summary
AliExpress is recalling two models of multi-function hair dryers: the 6-in-1 Multi Styler and the 5-in-1 Multi Styler. Both models are powered by a V9 digital motor and feature more than three heating modes with model number HS01 on the underside. About 980 units were sold.
The hair dryers lack an immersion protection device. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has determined that this omission presents a substantial product hazard: if the hair dryer falls into water while plugged in, the user faces an electrocution or electric shock hazard.
The recalled hair dryers were sold online at AliExpress.com from May 2023 through November 2024 for between $41 and $135.
Consumers should immediately unplug and stop using the recalled hair dryers. To receive a refund, consumers must destroy their hair dryer by unplugging it and cutting the cord, then email a photo of the destroyed dryer to AliExpress at [email protected]. AliExpress is directly contacting all purchasers. For more information, consumers can contact AliExpress through their help center or visit www.aliexpress.com and click on "Recalls" at the bottom of the page.
