AliExpress Hair Dryer Recall Lawsuit | 2025 Latest Updates

What’s the Problem?

AliExpress is recalling nearly 1,000 6-in-1 Multi Styler and 5-in-1 Multi Styler Hair Dryers which lack an immersion protection device, a standard feature in such appliances for preventing electrocution. These defective hair dryers pose an electrocution or shock hazard if the devices fall into water when plugged in. 

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has determined that hair dryers not equipped with integral immersion protection present a substantial product hazard.
