The product, in the report: Emjoi OptiPro epilator
I injured myself while using an Emjoi OptiPro.
The instructions state that it is supposed to turn off automatically if the tweezers ever get skin in them rather than hair. I was shocked to find however that some skin at the bottom of my leg/top of my foot got caught in the shaver, and the blades kept rotating. It did not shut off. It was painful, I had to manually shut it off which I wasnt expecting to have to do and which took longer, and the area was red, painful and irritated.
I am very upset that the product did not work as described and want the company to know there is a problem with the automatic shut off. When I reported this experience to the company, they took quite a few days to even respond, and when they did, did not seem to actually care about the flaw in their product. Because I don’t remember exactly when/where I purchased the product.
I have used and maintained the product exactly as stated in the instruction manual, but it did not work as intended. The automatic shut off safety feature did NOT work.
