Latest Lomi Roll-On Wax Kit Recall and Lawsuit Developments
June 2026
- June 25, 2026 – CPSC announced an expansion of the Lomi Roll-On Waxing Kit recall after additional reports that the power cord could overheat. The expansion added model LOMB2004PK and approximately 14,700 additional units [1]
- June 25, 2026 – CPSC reported two additional incidents involving overheating of the warmer’s power cord. No injuries were reported in those newly disclosed incidents [1]
- June 25, 2026 – Southern Telecom identified model LOMB2004PK by UPC 680079034191 and instructed consumers to stop using the kit, cut the unplugged electrical cord, document the destroyed product, and request a refund [2]
June 2024
- June 13, 2024 – CPSC originally recalled about 19,500 Lomi Roll-On Waxing Kits, model LOMB2003PK, because the warmer’s power cord could overheat and short circuit. Two consumers suffered burns, and one property-damage incident was reported [3]
What Are Lomi Roll-On Waxing Kits?
Lomi Roll-On Waxing Kits are home hair-removal products that use a handheld electrical warmer to heat a wax cartridge before the wax is applied to the skin.
The recalled kits include a handheld wax warmer, wax cartridge, wax strips, power cord, and user’s manual. The Lomi logo appears on the white-and-pink warmer and on the outside packaging.
The model number is printed on a label on the bottom of the warmer. Consumers should check for model numbers LOMB2003PK and LOMB2004PK.
Why Were Lomi Wax Kits Recalled?
The recall involves the wax warmer’s electrical power cord. CPSC states that the cord can overheat and short circuit, creating fire, burn, and electrical shock hazards.
A malfunction may occur while the warmer is plugged in and being handled close to the body. That can place the user near a hot electrical component, heated wax, clothing, towels, counters, outlets, or other combustible materials.
An overheating cord may also damage the plug, outlet, warmer, or nearby household property. Consumers should not continue using a recalled unit simply because it has not yet shown visible signs of failure.
What Incidents and Injuries Were Reported?
The original 2024 recall followed two reports of the power cord overheating or short circuiting. CPSC reported that two consumers suffered burns and that one incident caused property damage.
The June 2026 expansion disclosed two additional reports of the warmer power cord overheating. CPSC stated that no injuries were reported in connection with those additional incidents.
The recall therefore involves both documented injuries and subsequent reports showing that overheating continued to occur in another model. The 2026 expansion broadened the affected product population rather than replacing the original recall.
Which Lomi Models Are Recalled?
Model LOMB2003PK was included in the original June 2024 recall. Approximately 19,500 units were recalled after reports of overheating, burns, and property damage.
Model LOMB2004PK was added in June 2026. CPSC states that approximately 14,700 additional units were involved in the expansion.
The LOMB2004PK kit can also be identified by UPC 680079034191. Consumers should rely on the model number printed on the bottom of the warmer when determining whether their product is included.
Where Were the Recalled Waxing Kits Sold?
Model LOMB2003PK was sold at Ross, DD’s, Bealls, and Burlington stores nationwide from April 2023 through October 2023 for about $13.
Model LOMB2004PK was sold at Ross, DD’s, Variety Wholesalers, and Burlington stores nationwide from February 2025 through December 2025 for about $13.
Receipts are useful but may not be the only way to identify an affected kit. Photographs of the warmer, model label, packaging, UPC, and retailer information may also help establish product identity.
What Should Consumers Do With a Recalled Kit?
CPSC advises consumers to stop using recalled Lomi waxing kits immediately and contact Southern Telecom for a full refund.
The refund process requires destruction of the product. Consumers are instructed to unplug the warmer, cut the electrical cord, and submit photographic proof of the destroyed kit.
Southern Telecom’s current instructions also direct consumers to mark the warmer as recalled before submitting documentation. Consumers should follow the current recall instructions supplied by the company.
Why Evidence Preservation Matters Before Destroying the Product
The destruction requirement creates an important issue for consumers who experienced an injury or property damage. Cutting the cord can alter the very component identified by CPSC as the source of the hazard.
Before following the destruction procedure, an injured consumer should thoroughly photograph the warmer, power cord, plug, model label, outlet, surrounding area, and any visible heat or fire damage when it is safe to do so.
Receipts, packaging, recall emails, refund submissions, medical records, repair estimates, photographs of injuries, and damaged household items may also help document what occurred.
Who May Be Affected?
Consumers may be affected if they purchased or used model LOMB2003PK or LOMB2004PK and experienced overheating, short circuiting, sparking, smoke, burning odors, melting, burns, electrical shock, or property damage.
Household members may also experience losses when a malfunction damages outlets, counters, towels, flooring, furniture, walls, or nearby belongings.
Recall eligibility and legal-claim eligibility are separate issues. A consumer can qualify for the refund without an injury, while an individual injury claim generally requires evidence of actual damages and causation.
Who May Be Liable?
Potentially responsible parties may include Southern Telecom, a manufacturer, component supplier, distributor, retailer, or another company involved in producing or selling the recalled kits.
Possible legal theories may include defective design or manufacturing, inadequate warnings, negligence, breach of warranty, or other claims available under applicable state law.
The recall itself does not automatically establish liability in an individual case. Product identification, evidence of the malfunction, medical or property damage, causation, and applicable law may all need to be evaluated.
Do I Qualify?
- Did you use a Lomi Roll-On Waxing Kit with model number LOMB2003PK or LOMB2004PK?
- Did the cord overheat, short circuit, spark, smoke, melt, or cause a fire?
- Did you suffer burns, electrical shock, medical expenses, or property damage?
- Do you have photographs, the product, packaging, purchase records, medical records, or damage documentation?
An individualized legal review can determine whether the recalled product, malfunction evidence, injuries, property losses, and applicable filing deadline support a potential claim.
What Evidence Should I Preserve?
Photograph the model number, Lomi logo, warmer, power cord, plug, outlet, packaging, and any visible melting, discoloration, burn marks, or other damage.
Save receipts, card records, retailer information, recall communications, refund documents, repair estimates, damaged belongings, medical records, and photographs showing injury progression.
If the product must be destroyed to obtain the recall refund, document its condition before cutting the cord. The destruction process should not erase the only available evidence of an injury-producing malfunction.
