The product, in the report: Remington Pro Air Optima 1875 hair dryer, model D-3200N, UL listed 2615, Made in China
The hair dryer caught on fire. My wife was using the hair dryer to dry her hair. She noticed smoke coming from the hair dryer. She then unplugged the hair dryer from the wall outlet and called me. I reconnected the unit to the power source. Smoke was coming from the case at the heat control selector. I unplugged the dryer. and got my camera to take a video. The video does show smoke and flame coming from within the dryer. No injuries occurred. I am not sure when this hair dryer was purchased, but it was used for less than 60 hours.

The product, in the report: Remington T Studio Hair Dryer Model #AC 9140 (Purple). Thermaluxe Advanced Thermal Technology, tangle free fabric cord.
I just bought this Remington T Studio Hair Dryer Model # AC9140 yesterday and when I went to use it I heard something rattling inside. When I turned on the dryer (thank God it wasn’t pointed towards me) the tip of a blade flew out and hit the wall. It hit with so much force that it left an indention in my wall. I don’t want anyone to get injured if this occurs with any other of this same model. I took a picture of the blade and the indention in the wall but am unable to attach it in this response. Once you respond back in an email I will be more than happy to send you the picture.

The product, in the report: White hair dryer
My hair dryer has been alternating hot and cool air, and today shot green sparks out of the end. When I looked in the barrel a coil appears to glow and fade. I’m afraid my hair would catch on fire if I continued using it. I feel it should be replaced for dangerous faulty product.

I was blow drying my hair while sitting on the floor of my apartment. The hair dryer had been running for about 5 minutes, when it stopped running without me manually switching it off. I started to lower it in order to take a closer look and immediately, sparks and small flames starting shooting from the hair dryer. I tossed it to the ground and managed to think quick enough to unplug it from the wall. No damage was caused to the carpet or the apartment, but I suffered 1st degree burns on my left arm and it left my young son screaming (no injuries were sustained to him).
