CPSC, Virgo Enterprises Announce Recall of Hair Dryers

Date: April 21, 2004
Company: Virgo Enterprises, of Irvington, N.J.
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 replacement unit that has an immersion protection device.

Affected Products

The recalled units are the Turbo 2000, Turbo Laser 1500, Super Turbo 3000, Turbo Plus 2800 and Turbo Plus 1800 electric hand-held hair dryers. These hair dryers have a pistol grip, black or red colored plastic casing, two-prong power cord, and a label that reads, in part, "Virgo 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.
