Latest News & Updates
October 2025
The CPSC announced J & D Brush’s recall of Bio Ionic One-Inch-Long Barrel Curling Irons because the barrel can snap and detach, posing a burn hazard to consumers. Consumers were told to stop using the recalled curling iron, unplug it, and contact Bio Ionic for a free replacement [1].
What Is the Bio Ionic Curling Iron?
The recalled product is the Bio Ionic One-Inch-Long Barrel Curling Iron, model number LXT-CL-1.0. It has a black handle, a black barrel, a blue BIOIONIC logo on the handle, and a black operating-instructions label.
The model number appears on the rating label located on the handle. The date code is engraved on the plug prongs in MMYY format, meaning the recalled date codes run from July 2022 through December 2023.
Reported Risks or Injuries
- Barrel detachment during use
- Burns to the hand, face, neck, scalp, or shoulders
- Contact burns from hot metal components
- Pain, blistering, scarring, or infection in more serious cases
How Does the Problem Occur?
The hazard occurs when the heated barrel snaps and separates from the curling iron while the product is in use. Because curling irons are used close to the face, scalp, neck, and hands, a sudden barrel detachment can cause direct contact with hot surfaces.
The recalled products were sold at Amazon and Bioionic.com, and in-store and online at Salon Centric, Ulta, Sephora, Nordstrom, salons, and beauty supply stores nationwide. They were sold from August 2022 through July 2024 for about $165.
