Various Hair Dryers sold on AliExpress.com recalled due to risk of electric shock

Issue

The affected hair dryers lack an immersion protection device and can cause death or serious injury due to electrocution or shock if the hair dryers fall into water when plugged into a non-GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet. As of May 2, 2025, AliExpress, the marketplace where the products were sold, has not received any report of incidents or injuries in Canada.
