  1. No one hurt

    Made Jan 11, 2016, sent to the company Feb 11, 2016, published by CPSC Feb 26, 2016

    The product, in the report: Hair Dyer

    01/08/2016 - The consumer indicates that she was drying her hair for approximately three to five minutes when all of a sudden sparks and smoke were shot out of the back of it and the hair dryer then shut off. When the consumer unplugged the hair dryer, smoke was still coming out though less. The consumer noticed that there was metal and plastic shards embedded on the bathroom’s tile floor, as well as on the bathroom window that is located two to three feet from where the consumer was standing.

    The consumer is unable to remove the shards off her tiles, and the window is permanently etched.

    The consumer indicates that she uses her hair dryer daily for approximately ten minutes.

    The consumer contacted the manufacturer and explained the situation. The representative she spoke to ([REDACTED]) advised the consumer to get the invoice, and package and ship the hair dryer to them so they can replace it so long as they determine that it was a defective product.

    01/09/2016 - The consumer indicates that she returned the product to the retailer, as well as informed the manager of what had happened. Shocked, the manager asked the consumer if she would like to receive a replacement or a credit; the consumer replaced the hair dryer for one manufactured by a different firm.

    The consumer contacted the manufacturer and informed them that she returned the product.
