AliExpress Hair Dryer Recall Lawsuit | 2026 Latest Updates

AliExpress-sold hair dryers are the subject of four separate 2025 recalls. The Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled the Multi Styler Hair Dryers on January 30, 2025, then three more hair dryer lines on April 3, 2025. CPSC says each hair dryer can cause a shock or electrocution hazard if it is used near water while it is still plugged in, due to a missing safety part. AliExpress is offering a full refund to owners who cut the cord and email proof the hair dryer was destroyed. All four recalls remain open, and none has been announced as closed or terminated.

Latest AliExpress Hair Dryer Recall Updates

May 13, 2025: Health Canada Posts Joint Recall Notice

Health Canada posted a joint recall notice for hair dryers sold on AliExpress [1]. The notice covered the LVOE, Foldable Travel, and Mini Travel Hair Dryers. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission had recalled the same three hair dryers six weeks earlier. Health Canada said about 48 units were sold in Canada. It reported no incidents or injuries as of May 2, 2025.

April 3, 2025: CPSC Recalls Foldable Travel Hair Dryers

CPSC recalled the Foldable Travel Hair Dryers on April 3, 2025, the same day it recalled two other AliExpress hair dryer lines [2]. The dryers were sold under the Guangmei 3858 name and carry Recall Number 25-209. CPSC said about 80 units were sold in the United States for $4 to $13. CPSC found the same missing safety part in these dryers as in AliExpress’s other recalled lines, posing a shock hazard.

April 3, 2025: CPSC Recalls Mini Travel Hair Dryers

CPSC recalled the Mini Travel Hair Dryers the same day, April 3, 2025, retailed by XZT Huizhou [3]. This recall carries CPSC Recall Number 25-210. About 50 units were sold in the United States for $1 to $7, the lowest-priced of the four recalled lines. The dryers share the same missing safety device found in AliExpress’s other 2025 hair dryer recalls.

April 3, 2025: CPSC Recalls LVOE Hair Dryers

CPSC recalled the LVOE Hair Dryers, model X13, on the same day, April 3, 2025 [4]. This recall carries CPSC Recall Number 25-211. About 30 units were sold in the United States for $117 to $185. The dryers share the same defect as AliExpress’s other recalled hair dryer lines. CPSC’s notice names Shenzhen Meili Technology Co., of China, as the retailer.

January 30, 2025: CPSC Recalls Multi Styler Hair Dryers

CPSC recalled the 6-in-1 and 5-in-1 Multi Styler Hair Dryers, model HS01, on January 30, 2025, the first of the four AliExpress recalls [5]. The recall carries CPSC Recall Number 25-112. About 980 units were sold in the United States, more than the other three recalls combined, for $41 to $135. This recall shares the same missing safety part as AliExpress’s other three 2025 hair dryer lines.

Which AliExpress Hair Dryers Are Affected?

Four hair dryer lines sold on AliExpress were recalled in 2025:

• 6-in-1 and 5-in-1 Multi Styler Hair Dryers, model HS01, recall number 25-112
• Mini Travel Hair Dryers, retailed by XZT Huizhou, recall number 25-210, sold unmarked
• Foldable Travel Hair Dryers, sold under the Guangmei 3858 name, recall number 25-209
• LVOE Hair Dryers, model X13, the most expensive of the four recalled lines, recall number 25-211

The model number or recall number appears in the CPSC notice for each hair dryer, and consumers can compare their unit to the description above. Every affected hair dryer was sold through AliExpress.com between April 2022 and January 2025.

Why Were the AliExpress Hair Dryers Recalled?

The AliExpress Hair Dryers were recalled because they lack a required immersion protection device. Without that safety part, a hair dryer can cause an electrocution or shock if it falls into water while it is still plugged in. CPSC reviewed all four recalled hair dryer lines and found the same defect in each one. The agency determined the missing safety device makes the hair dryers a substantial product hazard under federal law. AliExpress sold the affected hair dryers between April 2022 and January 2025. All four recalls were voluntary, carried out through CPSC notices rather than under a mandatory order.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

CPSC has received no reports of incidents, injuries, or shocks connected to any of the four recalled hair dryers. That is true across all four recall notices, covering the Multi Styler, Mini Travel, Foldable Travel, and LVOE lines. Health Canada reported no incidents or injuries in Canada as of May 2, 2025, covering all three hair dryers sold there, out of about 48 units total. A recall can happen before anyone is hurt. CPSC and Health Canada act on a hazard a product presents, not only on injuries already reported. No reported incidents does not mean the hair dryers are safe to keep using.

What Should Consumers Do?

Consumers who own one of the four recalled AliExpress hair dryers should take the following steps:

1. Stop using the recalled hair dryer and unplug it right away to avoid a shock.
2. Cut the power cord so the hair dryer cannot be plugged in or used again.
3. Take a clear photo of the hair dryer after the cord has been cut.
4. Email the photo to AliExpress at us_product_recall@aliexpress.com, or reply to AliExpress’s recall email, to receive a full refund.
5. Contact AliExpress through its online help center at helpcenter.aliexpress.com/s/BuyerHelp with any questions about the refund.
6. Watch for direct contact from AliExpress, since the company is reaching out to known purchasers of the recalled hair dryers.

Other Recalls, Warnings, or International Actions

Health Canada posted its own recall notice on May 13, 2025, matching three of CPSC’s April 3, 2025 recalls in the United States. Health Canada reported about 48 units sold in Canada. No recall or warning covering these hair dryers has been reported in Europe or any other country.

Legal Options

No lawsuit, class action, or multidistrict litigation has been filed over these AliExpress hair dryer recalls, based on the sources read this update. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation‘s pending docket list includes no matching case for AliExpress or hair dryers [6]. A recall does not automatically establish liability or eligibility for compensation. Anyone shocked or injured by one of the recalled hair dryers may have an individual product-liability claim, which needs its own legal review.

Filing Deadlines

Filing deadlines for a product-liability claim depend on state law. Every state sets its own time limit for bringing a claim. The clock can start on different dates. Some states count from the date of the shock or injury, others from when the injury was discovered. Missing a filing deadline can end a shock or electrocution claim over these hair dryers, no matter how strong the facts are. Anyone considering such a claim should check with a lawyer promptly.
