Over 56,000 hair dryers recalled over potential risk of electrocution

Empower Brands is recalling about 56,300 Remington hair dryers due to a risk of electrocution or shock.

The product lacks an immersion protection device and poses the risk of “death or serious injury from electrocution or shock if the hair dryers fall into water while plugged in,” according to the recall announcement from the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The hair dryers with model number D3190DCDN were sold in purple with black accents and have three black operating buttons on the handles and “Remington” written in white text.
