Details
Pink heated hair styling tool supplied in black cardboard packaging with an image of a woman on the face. The text on the box reads ‘Anion straight hair is’.
The product presents a risk of electric shock as there is insufficient insulation to protect the user from electric shock, which can cause accessible parts to become live over time and under fault conditions. If a consumer were to touch a metal part, they could receive an electric shock.
The product was also missing required marking, labelling and documentation and was supplied with an unsafe and noncompliant clover-shaped plug.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.
What to do next
If you believe you have an affected product stop using it immediately and contact the retailer for further advice.
