CPSC, Lado Co. of America Announce Recall of Hair Dryers

Date: March 9, 2004
Company: Lado Co. of America, of Flushing, N.Y.
Status: Ongoing
Source: CPSC

What You Should Do

Stop using this product immediately. Do not consume, use, or distribute it.

Stop using these hair dryers immediately and return the unit to the firm for a refund or replacement.

Affected Products

The recalled units are the Formula 3000, Energy Turbo, and Rapid 1085 electric hand-held hair dryers. These hair dryers have a pistol grip, black or dark blue colored plastic casing, two-prong power cord, and a label that reads in part: "Lado Professional" and "110V/60HZ". The model name and number also are printed on the label.

Why Was This Recalled?

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.

Where Was This Sold?

Distribution information not available.
