Hurt, no treatment Made Jul 22, 2024, sent to the company Jul 26, 2024, published by CPSC Aug 9, 2024
The product, in the report: The product is described after these links. To the best of my knowledge, this product is available at the following retailers (at least): [REDACTED]
MANSCAPED sells The Handyman Compact Face Shaver. It is described as “Portable Mens Travel Facial Hair Groomer, USB-C Rechargeable Electric Razor, Waterproof, Cordless, Dual-Action SkinSafe Long-Hair Leveler & Foil Blades”. It is available not only alone, but as a bundle kit other accessories in different combo models.
This device almost caught fire or did catch fire in a smoldering manner, releasing toxic plastic fumes throughout the home to which people were exposed. A fire was very possible if there was any combustible material nearby, especially if the would-be-fire had not been caught early by someone with a good sense of smell. Those who are not able to locate or infer the sources of smells may be more at risk of death, property damage, or homelessness by fire.
The product comprises a USB-C charging cable, USB-C male charger wall outlet adapter, and the handheld product itself comprising of a grippable rechargeable battery sub-unit (and a cutter-and-foil-shaver sub-unit). While charging with the provided adapter (which has the same voltage and current markings as the battery unit), the battery unit overheated drastically, and over the course of half an hour leaked plastic fumes throughout the building. The product had disintegrated and melted on the battery unit where the USB-C cable connects to the charging circuitry. Charging port had reached sufficient heat that the plastic had melted onto the cable. At this temperature, we do not know if the lithium ion batteries may have been at risk themselves of catching fire.
A previous purchase of this product had sporadically-malfunctioning charging, so one can only surmise that the issue is systemic with this model, and perhaps with the manufacturer that MANSCAPED is working with in China, and related charging circuitry of related products.
