OFFICIALS have issued the urgent recall of thousands of hair dryers sold at Walmart, Amazon, and Target.

On Thursday, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued a statement highlighting worries that the products present a “risk of death or serious injury.”

Around 56,300 hair dryers are believed to carry the risk of shocks or electrocution due to a vital missing element.

“The handheld hair dryers lack an immersion protection device,” the CPSC stated in its recall alert.

“These items pose a significant danger to consumers, with the potential for death or serious injury due to electrocution or shock if the hair dryers were to fall into water while still connected to a power source.”

The affected hair dryers are manufactured by Empower Brands and sold under the popular Remington brand.

Consumers who recently bought the black and purple model could be affected.

Shoppers must look out for the exact model number D3190DCDN with Remington written in white on the side of the styling tool.

It has three black buttons on the handle and will have been sold for between $25 and $32.

The CPSC noted that the affected models were sold exclusively at Walmart, Target, and Amazon.

They will have been on shelves between March 2024 and June 2025.

Anyone who bought the affected model during this time period can get a full refund.

They must immediately stop using the item and contact Empower Brands for money back.

The CPSC advises instantly unplugging the device if it is plugged in and highlighted the actions shoppers must take to get the refund.

“Consumers must submit a photo of the hair dryer with its power cord cut in half to the recall registration portal,” it stated.

The portal can be found here at the Remington Product Recall page.

There, shoppers will find detailed instructions on how safely throw out the hair dryer.

At the time of writing, there have been no reported injuries as a result of the risks posed by the hair dryers.

Meanwhile, the CPSC has also recalled a bottle sold at Walmart, Home Depot and Target over explosion fears.

Customers have been warned the 1L bottle could suddenly explode while it is being used.

Plus, a smartwatch has been pulled from sale after catching fire and burning the hands of users.

There have been at least 39 reports of the watch overheating, melting, and even igniting flames causing property damage.
