Focusee Recalls Tideway Hair Dryers Due to Electrocution or Shock Hazard

Reported: July 3, 2024 Initiated: July 3, 2024 #24290

Product Description

This recall involves Tideway High-Speed Hair Dryers PRO M01 with two speed adjustments. The hair dryers come with a nozzle, and were sold in white with gold on the bottom of the handle. "Tideway" is printed on the front of the handle. The hair dryers have an LED ring on them that corresponds to the different temperature settings of the hair dryer. Red represents hot air, orange represents warm air, blue represents cold air, and green represents hot and cold cycles.

Reason for Recall

The handheld hair dryers lack an immersion protection device, posing an electrocution or shock hazard to consumers, if they fall into water when plugged in. The CPSC has determined that hair dryers not equipped with the integral immersion protection present a substantial product hazard.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately unplug and stop using the recalled hair dryers, and contact Tideway Shop to receive a free replacement. Consumers should destroy the recalled hair dryers by unplugging the hair dryer, cutting the cord and disposing of them in accordance with local and state recycling laws, and send an image of the destroyed hair dryer to info@tideway.shop or tidewayshopify@gmail.com. Upon receipt of the photo, Focusee will send the customer a replacement hair dryer with an immersion protection device.
