Empower Brands recalled about 56,300 Remington D3190DCDN hair dryers that lack an immersion protection device. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission listed the Fast Track recall on August 14, 2025, and the refund remedy is still open.
The hazard is electrocution or shock if the dryer falls into water while plugged in. Owners should unplug the dryer, stop using it and ask for a refund. The dryers were sold online from March 2024 to June 2025.
No lawsuit, class action or MDL names this recall, and CPSC’s notice lists no incidents or injuries tied to the dryers. Owners can get a full refund after sending a photo of the cut cord.

August 14, 2025: CPSC and Empower Brands Announce the Recall
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission published recall number 25-430 for 56,300 Remington D3190DCDN dryers sold by Empower Brands. CPSC filed it as a Fast Track recall [1].
The CPSC notice names Spectrum Brands Inc. as the importer, acting for the benefit of Empower Brands, LLC, both of Middleton, Wisconsin.
Which Remington Hair Dryers Are Affected?
The recall covers one Remington model, sold only through online marketplaces. Match your dryer against these details:
- Model number D3190DCDN, a purple dryer with black accents, three black operating buttons on the handle and the word Remington in white text on the side.
- Sold only online at Walmart Marketplace, Target Marketplace and Amazon from March 2024 through June 2025 for between $25 and $32.
Empower Brands, LLC sells the dryers under the Remington name. The recall names no other Remington model, so owners of other Remington dryers are not covered by this notice.
Why Were Remington Hair Dryers Recalled?
The Remington hair dryers were recalled because the model comes without an immersion protection device. CPSC says this presents a substantial product hazard to consumers.
The risk is death or serious injury from electrocution or shock if the hair dryers fall into water while plugged in. The notice states no cause beyond the missing device.
The New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services also published the notice, with the same August 14, 2025 recall date [2].
Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses
CPSC’s August 14, 2025 notice lists no incidents or injuries tied to the recalled dryers. A report is not proof that a dryer caused an injury, and each event depends on its own facts.
Anyone who was hurt, or who had a close call with a recalled dryer, can file a report on SaferProducts.gov. A report lets CPSC and other consumers know about a dangerous product [3].
What Should Consumers Do?
Owners of the recalled dryers should take these steps to get a refund:
- Unplug the recalled hair dryer immediately and stop using it.
- Check that your dryer is model D3190DCDN with the details listed above.
- Cut the power cord in half and take a photo of the dryer with the cord cut.
- Submit the photo at the recall registration portal and follow the disposal instructions there.
- Contact Empower Brands for a full refund at 1-844-695-2134, 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or email HairdryerRecall@Spectrumbrands.com.
Legal Options
No court case, class action or MDL names the Remington recall. A recall does not automatically establish fault or eligibility for a claim.
A person hurt by a recalled dryer may be able to bring a product liability claim. A lawyer can review the facts of each case.
