Oen Setp
The CaaWoo Hair Dryer Brush, 4-in-1 One Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer, Hair Dryer Brush has been identified as presenting a risk of fire, burns and electric shock due to multiple safety defects. The product's plug does not meet the dimensional requirements of the relevant standard, presenting an electric shock hazard when plugging in, or pulling it out of a mains electrical socket. The plug was incorrectly rated for the fuse link fitted and the rated power of the appliance, presenting a fire hazard. The mains plug was also not fitted with a fuse link conforming to the relevant standard, and was incorrectly rated for the plug and supply cord fitted.
The equipment was not designed in a way such as to ensure that temperatures that can cause a danger are not produced. Additionally, the mains supply cord was too thin, had excessive resistance and was protected by an incorrectly rated fuse link.
It is also possible to remove parts of the item by hand and without use of a tool, leaving access to single isolation mains wiring, presenting a risk of electric shock. The product also requires improvements to labelling, markings and instructions. The product has been recalled from end users and listings removed by the online marketplace (Amazon). Contact the distributor you purchased from to request redress. Model number: 2338

If the cord becomes trapped during use, the user may experience injuries such as ischaemia (that is, inadequate blood supply) or bruising.
