Conair Recalls Curling Irons

February 7, 2007      Spanish version
Conair is recalling about 322,000 curling irons because of a shock and electrocution hazard. The handle of the curling iron can come apart exposing its line cord.

This recall involves ceramic, gold-matte finish curling irons. The irons have a 1, 1', or 1'-inch barrel, metal counter rest, vertically placed ON-OFF buttons, and a heat set dial that ranges from 0 to 30. A four-digit date code can be found on the plug prong. Date codes included in this recall range from November 2005 through July 2006 (ex. 0706). The name 'Conair' is printed on the handle of the iron.

The irons were sold at discount retailers and drug stores nationwide during January 2006 for about $25.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled curling iron and contact Conair to receive a free replacement.

The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
