Plain-English summary
Guang Zhou is recalling about 2,295 units of Wantefully 2 in 1 Hair Dryer & Styler, One Step Hair Dryer Brush Straightner, and Negative Ion Electric Hot Air Blow Dryer Comb, model number XR-8801. The recalled products are black hot air dryer paddle brushes with a striped pink design and brush bristles, featuring three heat settings. The model name XR-8801 and the brand XRUI are printed on the top of the product packaging.
The recall is issued because the hair dryer brushes violate federal regulations by lacking an integrated immersion protection device. This defect presents a substantial product hazard, creating a risk of death or serious injury from electrocution or shock if the hair dryers fall into water while plugged in. Additionally, the devices can overheat, posing a burn hazard. There has been one report of a hair dryer overheating and melting, but no injuries have been reported.
The products were sold online at Amazon.com from February 2026 through March 2026 for about $30. Consumers should unplug and stop using the recalled hair dryers immediately. To obtain a full refund, consumers should contact Guang Zhou at [email protected]. They will be asked to cut the power cord and provide a photo of the destroyed product.
