Probably only sold to Republicans, right?

Where they "industrial strength" hairdryers?

Back in the early 1980s, I bought a hair dryer called Hot Stuff. It was recalled because customers didn’t like drying their hair over an open flame.

They didn’t name the missing devices. So, I suspect they forgot to include warning labels to refrain from using the hair dryers in the bathtub or shower.

Stupid crybabies. Persons who dry their hair in the tub should be electrocuted.

The author says the product “bypassed traditional brick-and-mortar retail safety checks”... what checks are those exactly? Have products sold through B&M stores never had a recall? Are recalls statistically more likely for products sold through eCommerce? The article doesn’t ask those questions nor, I suspect, do they care to. Garbage journalism.

Do toasters contain immersion protection devices? Toasters could be dangerous for someone reaching over to pull a popup snack from a toaster while sitting in a bathtub. It’s just like someone in the bathtub using a hairdryer.

“No injuries reported yet, but CPSC warns of serious electrocution risk if devices contact water while plugged in”

So what hand held electrical device doesn’t present that kind of danger if dropped into water? CPSC sounds like just another government money pit trying to justify its existence. By the way doesn’t AC plugs with ground fault interrupters provide that kind of protection?

Remington makes good shotguns, but their hairdryers are poo.

For hairdryers, I always choose BRXMCJV brand on Amazon.

Every Electric hair Dryer is a “hazard” if you attempt to dry your hair while standing in the shower.

Good Grief.

That’s like the warning on the bottom of a soda bottle:

OPEN OTHER END.
