  1. Hurt, care not known

    Made Jul 19, 2021, sent to the company Jul 21, 2021, published by CPSC Aug 4, 2021

    The product, in the report: T3 Micro Curl ID 1.25” Digital Ceramic Curling Iron with Smart Touch Interface & Interactive HeatID Technology for Automatic Heat Setting Personalization - Shiny Smooth Curls that Last, White Model 77550 Model 883349002207

    Product: T3 CURL ID (https://www.t3micro.com/product/curl-id-curling-iron) Issue Overview: This curling iron has capacitive touch buttons on the handle that turn it on/off and change the heating setting. There is a safety feature to prevent heating the curling iron prior to locking the screen from these touch inputs. That safety feature is inoperable allowing the device to be turned on accidentally and immediately begin applying heat to the device. Who was using the product: I was. How were the products used: curling hair. Injuries: cooked hair. Skin burns. How: devices safety features are not correctly functioning.

    Longer Description:

    The T3 CURL ID does not have physical buttons to turn it on/off but instead has capacitive touch buttons that react to any touch. These buttons can turn the device on or off as well as change the heat settings. They are placed on the front face of the handle of the curling iron - where myself and other users hold the device.

    The device allows you to lock the screen to disable these buttons from accepting input. According to the manual “Note: Screen must be locked to begin heat up”. This is incorrect and the curling iron begins to immediately apply heat once turned on. The device does not indicate any way to lock the screen outside of the provided paper user manual.

    When I used this device without locking the screen it behaved exactly as you’d expect a curling iron to behave. It heated to the temperature selected and let me start curling my hair. The device includes two modes: It’s Smart and Manual modes. I used the smart mode on it’s low settings. By holding the iron the device was switched to “manual” mode (because the screen does not require being locked to operate the device). The default setting for manual mode is the maximum heat setting which the iron immediately began to heat from the 260 degrees Fahrenheit I had set it to (measured via infrared thermometer afterwards) to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In both cases according to the product manual: no heat should have been applied at all. The devices screen was never locked during my use. The temperature of this device can change by more than 100 degrees if you touch it wrong.

    This change in temperature significantly damaged my hair and could have led to serious burns or fire if I had not been exceedingly careful.

    The product, in the report: T3 Single pass wave 1.25”-0.75”professional styling wand

    Hi, I purchased a T3 single pass styling wand several months ago.  I have recently started to use it regularly, and I loved the way it gave me natural looking waves.  I have always used it with the heat glove.  Yesterday I was almost finished using it before going to a concert, when I put it down on the counter to look in the mirror at the back of my head.  I picked it up, inadvertently palming the hot side of the wand.  I got a pretty significant burn to the inside of my fingers on my right hand.   When I look at the design of the product, it seems so easy to make an error like I did and touch the hot end because the entire wand is the same white color.  With older, traditional curling irons with a clamp handle, it would be almost impossible to grab the hot end because the handle is usually a black or white color and the hot part is chrome.  With this T3 product, I think my brain failed to see that I was lifting the wrong side. I don’t want this to happen to anyone else.  I’m afraid to use the product now even though I loved the waves it gave me. I just wanted to give you my comments. Regards,[REDACTED]

    The product, in the report: T3 single pass flat iron Model number 76500

    I purchased a T3 flat iron in July of 2016 from Ulta in Florida. It has worked fine until last week. I had it on the 3rd lowest setting when it overheated and fried my hair. I have damage all over. My hair is broken and damaged. I could smell burnt hair after using it. The malfunction was sudden and without warning. I have had to go to my stylist and get my hair cut and treatments to try to repair some of the damage. It will take months if not years to get this back to the way it was. This product is dangerous and caused tremendous damage. It has since quit working at all. The light just stays on and will not heat at all. I have contacted the company and am waiting on a reply.
