  1. Hurt, no treatment

    Made Jul 5, 2026, sent to the company Jul 8, 2026, published by CPSC Jul 22, 2026

    The product, in the report: The Braun Silk-epil 9 Flex SkinSpa 9-481 3D epilator Wet & Dry is a shaver set that contains the following items: Silk-epil 9 Flex 3D epilator (a white “base” with pink and gold accents bearing the identifier “Type: 5380” with the epilator “head” attached bearing the identifier “PC6013”), a body exfoliating brush bearing the identifier “2530” attached to the attachment holder attachment bearing the identifier “PC5185” whose purpose is to connect the “body exfoliating brush” and/or the “massage pad” upon the “Base” bearing the identifier “Type: 5380”, a protective cap which goes upon the “body exfoliating brush” and bears the markings “PC”, “I..”, and “6”, a massage pad bearing no unique identifier, a shaver head bearing the identifier “PC 5189”, a trimmer cap bearing no unique identifier, a skin contact cap bearing the unique identifier “PC :N3”, a body mini trimmer bearing no unique identifier, a cleaning brush bearing no unique identifier, a “Smart plug” containing the following alphanumeric characters “C 25351”, and a skin & beauty pouch bearing no unique identifiers.

    What happened that made you want to report? I purchased a Braun Silk-epil 9 Flex SkinSpa 9-481 3D epilator Wet & Dry on 5/31/26 which included a foil shaver head. I noticed after the foil shaver began nicking my skin on 6/17/26 that there was a tiny imperfection within the foil shaver head. I went through the manufacturer’s normal warranty channels. In my online note when I submitted the product for inspection, I specifically told Braun “Defect in foil of shaver attachment is causing the unit to nick my skin. I literally bought a new silk epil 9 flex mainly for that foil shaver head.” After inspecting the product, they returned the defective product that harmed me with a note stating “The shaving foil on your shaver is not covered under the Braun Warranty.” Since they didn’t send me a non-defective product and sent back the defective one after I told them it harmed me, making a report of a dangerous product seems like the next course of action. I then had to pay $43.99 on 7/5/26 to buy a replacement part after they returned a harmful defective product that had already caused wounds on my body.

    What type of product(s) were being used? The Braun Silk epil 9 Flex bearing the identifier “Type: 5380” with the foil shaver head attachment bearing the identifier “PC 5189” attached.

    Who was using the product(s)? Myself, the purchaser

    How were the product(s) being used? On my arms, legs, hands, feet, groin to remove hair

    Were there any injuries that happened or may have happened while using the product? Yes.

    How did any injuries occur? Braun’s Silk-epil 9 Flex SkinSpa 9-481 3D epilator Wet & Dry with the foil shaver attached nicked my arms and legs in several locations on 6/17/26. I noticed visible wounds on my upper right arm on 6/18/26. They were very minor, small tears that went up a line that aligns with how I would have moved the shaver up my arm. No active bleeding was noticed, but the tears were open.

  2. No one hurt

    Made Aug 19, 2019, sent to the company Aug 27, 2019, published by CPSC Sep 11, 2019

    The product, in the report: Foil style electric shaver. 10 to 15 years old. Plastic and metal. Cordless.

    I had a 10 to 15 year old Braun series 7 shaver that had worked fine for all the time I had it, until the other day. I was shaving and it got too hot to hold. I dropped it in the sink and fire started coming out of it, so I turned on the water to douse the flames.

    Model
    Series 7. It’s too burned up to find a serial or model no.
