Mini travel hair dryers recalled for electrocution and shock hazard

XZT mini hair dryers sold on AliExpress lack immersion protection and can cause electrocution or shock if they fall into water while plugged in. No injuries have been reported.

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 product presents a risk-of-harm from electrocution and shock due to lack of immersion protection, a serious hazard. However, the source explicitly states no injuries or deaths have been reported, which per the rubric limits the score to High (3) rather than higher severity levels.

Plain-English summary

This recall involves XZT Huizhou mini travel hair dryers in blue, green, pink, and white. The foldable dryers were sold on AliExpress.com from May 2023 through November 2024 for between $1 and $7. Approximately 50 units were distributed.

The hair dryers lack an immersion protection device required by federal regulations. If a plugged-in dryer falls into water, it can cause death or serious injury through electrocution or shock.

Consumers who purchased these dryers should immediately unplug and stop using them. Contact AliExpress to request a full refund. You will be asked to destroy the dryer by cutting the cord and dispose of it safely. Send a photo of the destroyed dryer to [email protected] or reply to the recall email from AliExpress.
