About 700 Blason Turbo Style hand-held hair dryers are being recalled. Some of the hair dryers do not have an immersion protection device on the power cord and could present a serious electrocution hazard if dropped in water.
The recalled units are the Blason Turbo Style model 4030 electric hand-held hair dryers without an immersion protection device. These units have a pistol-style grip and a black plastic casing with a two-prong power cord labeled in part, "Blason Turbo Style Mod. 4030. 110V/60HZ/1500W."
The units were sold at retail drug stores and hair accessories and salon retail operations from May 2002 through June 2003 for about $40.
Consumers should return the hair dryer to Blason International Trading Corp. for a refund. Call Blason toll-free at (888) 625-2766 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. PT Monday through Friday.
