Bliss Hair Dryers Recalled for Electrocution and Shock Hazards

Legend Brands is recalling approximately 500 Bliss hair dryers due to lack of immersion protection, which can cause death or serious injury from electrocution if the dryers 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 source text explicitly states no injuries have been reported and the hazard is theoretical risk of electrocution/shock if the product falls into water. Per the rubric, when the source explicitly states no illnesses/injuries reported and the hazard is theoretical, the score is at most 3. The serious nature of the potential injury (death or serious injury from electrocution) places this in the High category rather than Moderate.

Plain-English summary

Legend Brands LLC is recalling Bliss hair dryers sold exclusively at Burlington stores nationwide from January 2025 through March 2025. The foldable travel hair dryers were available in teal and pink with silver accents and feature three speeds and a temperature regulation switch.

The hair dryers lack an immersion protection device required by federal regulations. If a plugged-in hair dryer falls into water, the absence of this safety feature can cause death or serious injury from electrocution or shock. The recalled product violates federal hair dryer regulations and presents a substantial product hazard.

Consumers should immediately unplug the hair dryers and stop using them. To receive a full refund, contact Legend Brands toll-free at 888-325-9044 from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or email [email protected]. Consumers will be asked to destroy the hair dryers by cutting the cord and dispose of the product, then send a photo of the destroyed dryer to [email protected]. Legend Brands is contacting all known purchasers directly.
