Risk
Braun is voluntarily recalling all Braun Satin Pro and Braun Satin Hair Colour hairdryers made between April 2007 and November 2008. There is a risk that the hairdryers may short-circuit, overheat and start burning if left plugged in, in a very humid environment, even when switched off.
Models affected
The Braun hairdryers being recalled have the product type number 3549 and production codes from "701" to "852". The product type number is printed on the handle and the production code is printed on the inlet grid.
What to do next
If you have an affected Braun hairdryer, unplug it immediately and do not use it any further.
For further information, call the toll-free service hotline on 1800 819 068 or visit the company's website at Braun.com/uk.
Electrical Safety First recommends that anyone who discovers they have an electrical item that has been recalled should stop using it until it has been checked by the manufacturer.
