Latest DHASUWT Hair Dryer Brush Lawsuit Updates
September 10, 2026: CPSC Announces Junkins’ Recall of DHASUWT Brushes
The CPSC announced fast-track recall 26-750 [1]. Junkins (Shenzhen Weihua Chenyu Technology Co., Ltd, of China) recalled about 1,738 DHASUWT brushes, model XR-8801. They lack an integrated immersion protection device. Consumers should contact Junkins for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to cut the power cord and email a photo of the destroyed product to DHASUWT_recall@163.com.What Is Integral Immersion Protection?
According to the CPSC business guidance, integral immersion protection reduces the risk of electric shock if a hair dryer is immersed in, or otherwise contacts, water [2]. Integral immersion protection is provided in a block-shaped plug that incorporates a type of circuit interrupter. The guidance covers hand-supported hair dryers, which are electrical appliances held with one hand during use to dry hair.Who May Be Affected?
People who bought the DHASUWT brush, model XR-8801, may be affected. It sold on Amazon.com from October 2024 through June 2026 for about $27. The top of the packaging is labeled XRUI with the model name XR-8801. The brush is black with a pink design and bristles, and it has three heat settings. Two situations match the recall. One is the brush ending up in water while it is connected to power. The other is the brush smoking or catching fire. People who had a shock, a burn or a fire involving the brush may fit these situations. A claim depends on each person’s facts, so only an individual legal review can say whether one exists.Think you may qualify?

Reported Injuries or Damages
The CPSC notice counts 10 incidents in which the brush smoked or caught fire by the recall date. No injuries were reported, and incident reports do not prove that the brush caused each event. The CPSC also says the recalled hair dryer brushes pose the risk of death or serious injury from smoking and fire hazards. MedlinePlus says electricity passing through the body can cause external or internal injuries and lists faulty electrical appliances among the causes. External injuries are skin burns. Internal injuries include damage to organs, bones, muscles, and nerves [3].Recall and Regulatory Background
Under 16 CFR 1120.3, hand-supported hair dryers without integral immersion protection are deemed substantial product hazards [4]. A recall does not by itself establish liability. The Wantefully hair dryer brush lawsuit page covers a separate brush recall.Evidence to Preserve
Keep these records:- The product label and the packaging, kept with the brush.
- The Amazon.com order record and receipt that show when and where you bought the brush.
- Photos of the brush, the cord and any damage, taken before the cord is cut or discarded.
- Photos of any smoke, burn or fire damage, along with any fire or property-damage records.
- Medical records and bills for any electrical shock or burn you or a family member had.
- Emails or messages with Junkins or the seller about the refund or the problem.
- A written note of the date, the place and what happened when the problem occurred.
Filing Deadlines
Filing deadlines come from state law and change with where you live and when the injury or property damage happened. Once a deadline passes, a claim can end, even if the facts are strong. Check with a lawyer promptly if you want to know where you stand.Frequently Asked Questions
