USCPSC, Light Distribution Inc. Announce Recall of Hair Dryers
Recalling Firm: Light Distribution Inc., of Miami, Fla.
Reason for Recall / Hazard
These hair dryers do not have an immersion protection device or ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) on the power cord, which poses a serious electrocution hazard if dropped in water. In 1991, a voluntary standard was implemented that called for all hair dryers used by consumers to protect against electrocution in both the "on" and "off" positions.
Product Description & Identification
The recalled units are the Turbo 1650 and Turbo 2650 electric hand-held hair dryers. These hair dryers have a pistol grip, black or red and black colored plastic casing, two-prong power cord, and a label that reads in part: "Light Distribution" or "Windsor" and "110V/60HZ". The model name and number also are printed on the label.
