Latest News & Updates on Lomi Roll-On Wax Kit Lawsuits
June 2026
June 25, 2026 – CPSC announced that Southern Telecom expanded its recall of Lomi Roll-On Waxing Kits because the roll-on warmers’ power cords can overheat and short circuit, posing a risk of serious injury or death from fire, burn, and electrical shock hazards. The expanded recall involves about 14,700 additional units and adds model LOMB2004PK to the earlier recall [1].
June 25, 2026 – CPSC stated that the recalled LOMB2004PK kits were sold at Ross, DD’s, Variety Wholesalers, and Burlington stores nationwide from February 2025 through December 2025 for about $13. Southern Telecom reported two additional incidents of the warmer power cord overheating, with no injuries reported in the expanded recall.
June 25, 2026 – Southern Telecom’s recall page identifies the LOMB2004PK kit by UPC 680079034191 and instructs consumers to stop using the product, cut the unplugged electrical cord, submit a photo, and request a refund. The company states that the recall was conducted voluntarily under CPSC’s Fast Track Recall process [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. The original recall reported two incidents involving overheating or short-circuiting, including two consumers who suffered burns and one incident of property damage [3].
Electrical and Burn Injury Context
Electrical safety context – ESFI warns that electrical cords should be inspected for damage and that covered or damaged cords can create overheating and fire hazards. That guidance is relevant to a recalled corded wax warmer because the reported defect involves overheating and short circuiting in the power cord [4].
Burn injury context – Mayo Clinic explains that burns can range from minor injuries to medical emergencies, depending on depth, area affected, and complications such as infection or scarring. In a Lomi wax kit incident, burn evidence may include treatment records, photographs, scarring documentation, and follow-up care [5].
What Are Lomi Roll-On Waxing Kits?
Lomi Roll-On Waxing Kits are home hair-removal products that use a handheld electrical wax warmer to heat a wax cartridge. The user applies warmed wax to the skin and removes hair with wax strips.
The recalled boxed kits included a handheld wax warmer, wax cartridge, wax strips, a power cord, and a user’s manual. The Lomi logo is printed on the white and pink warmer and on the outside of the product packaging.
The recalled model number is printed on a label on the bottom of the wax warmer. Consumers should check for model numbers LOMB2003PK or LOMB2004PK.
The product’s intended use makes the hazard more serious because the warmer may be plugged in and handled close to the body. A cord failure can expose the user to heat, sparks, smoke, fire, burns, or electrical shock while the product is being used in a bathroom, bedroom, salon-style home setup, or other personal-care area.
Reported Risks or Injuries
The primary risk is that the wax warmer’s power cord can overheat and short circuit. CPSC identifies the hazard as a fire, burn, and electrical shock risk.
The original 2024 recall reported two incidents of the warmer power cord overheating or short-circuiting. Those incidents included two consumers who suffered burns and one incident of property damage.
The 2026 recall expansion reported two additional incidents involving overheating of the warmer power cord. CPSC stated that no injuries were reported in connection with those additional incidents.
Potential injuries may include contact burns, thermal burns, electrical shock symptoms, smoke exposure, eye irritation, hand burns, arm burns, scarring, or injuries caused while trying to unplug, move, or extinguish a malfunctioning device. Property damage may include burned counters, towels, flooring, furniture, cords, outlets, or nearby personal-care items.
How Does the Problem Occur, and Who May Be Liable?
The problem may occur when the warmer’s cord overheats or short circuits during use. Because the kit is designed to heat wax, a consumer may not immediately recognize whether unusual heat is coming from normal warming activity or from an electrical defect.
A legal investigation may examine the power cord, plug, warmer housing, internal wiring, strain relief, insulation, heating element, user instructions, quality-control records, and recall history. It may also review whether the product showed warning signs such as burning odor, smoke, sparking, discoloration, intermittent power, unusual heat, or cord damage.
Potentially responsible parties may include the importer, manufacturer, distributor, retailer, component supplier, or other companies involved in designing, importing, selling, or supplying the recalled wax kits. Liability depends on product identification, defect evidence, incident facts, damages, and applicable law.
Evidence preservation may be complicated by the recall remedy because consumers are instructed to cut the unplugged power cord and submit a photo of the destroyed product. Anyone who suffered injury or property damage should document the product, cord, outlet, surrounding area, injuries, and damage before destroying or disposing of the kit.
Who May Be Affected?
Consumers may be affected if they purchased or used a recalled Lomi Roll-On Waxing Kit with model number LOMB2003PK or LOMB2004PK. The products were sold at several off-price and discount retailers nationwide.
The LOMB2003PK kits were sold at Ross, DD’s, Bealls, and Burlington stores nationwide from April 2023 through October 2023. The LOMB2004PK kits were sold at Ross, DD’s, Variety Wholesalers, and Burlington stores nationwide from February 2025 through December 2025.
People may be affected if the warmer overheated, short-circuited, smoked, sparked, melted, caused a burn, damaged property, or caused an electrical shock. Household members may also be affected if the incident caused a fire, smoke, or damage to shared living areas.
Do I Qualify?
- Did you purchase or use a Lomi Roll-On Waxing Kit with model number LOMB2003PK or LOMB2004PK?
- Did the wax warmer’s power cord overheat, smoke, spark, melt, short circuit, or stop working unexpectedly?
- Did you suffer burns, electrical shock, smoke exposure, scarring, medical treatment, or other injuries?
- Did the incident cause property damage to a counter, outlet, towel, floor, furniture, wall, or nearby personal item?
- Do you still have the wax warmer, power cord, packaging, receipt, photos, medical records, property-damage records, or recall communications?
- Did you document the product and damage before cutting the cord or disposing of the recalled kit?
Product identification is important. Photos of the model number label, Lomi logo, packaging, UPC, retailer receipt, cord damage, outlet condition, burn marks, and injury progression may help support a legal review.

Legal Process Overview
Step 1: Free case review. The review begins with the model number, purchase location, date of purchase, incident sequence, injuries, property damage, and whether the product was destroyed under recall instructions. Photos of the bottom label and power cord can help confirm whether the product falls within the recall.
Step 2: Evidence preservation and investigation. Consumers should preserve or photograph the wax warmer, power cord, plug, packaging, receipt, outlet, damaged property, injuries, medical records, and recall communications. If the product must be destroyed for the refund process, the condition of the cord and warmer should be documented first.
Step 3: Filing the claim. If the evidence supports legal action, a claim may allege product defect, negligence, failure to warn, breach of warranty, or other claims depending on state law. Filing deadlines vary by state and may depend on when the injury or property loss occurred.
Step 4: Discovery and negotiation. Discovery may involve product testing, import records, incident reports, recall documents, design records, warning materials, retailer records, medical files, property-damage records, and expert opinions. Negotiation may focus on injury severity, burn evidence, property damage, product identification, and whether the recall remedy fully addressed the consumer’s losses.
Step 5: Resolution. A claim may resolve through settlement, dismissal, court ruling, or trial. The outcome depends on product proof, defect evidence, damages, expert analysis, and legal defenses.
