  1. Hurt, no treatment

    Made Nov 13, 2019, sent to the company Dec 13, 2019, published by CPSC Dec 31, 2019

    The product, in the report: its a yellow wet/dry life-proof wireless shaver

    I was shaving with the above mentioned wahl shaver on my head. I have neither modified it or failed to maintain it. The blades inside the shaver inexplicably breached the shavers guard and cut me in the head twice. the first time I though it was a hair that got pulled, so I continued to shave. The second time however, it dug deep in my scalp causing a painful laceration which bled for minutes and was difficult to stop.

    The product, in the report: Wahl - WAH 9818 - Stainless steel battery-powered (lithium ion) trimmer.

    Summary: The trimmer turned itself on and will no longer turn off.

    Found battery-powered trimmer running in drawer after arriving home from work. It had turned itself on and would not turn off. This seems like a fire hazard given the lithium-ion battery and constant unforseen run-time.
