National, Sanyo Hair Dryers Recalled

June 3, 2009
About 2,300 National and Sanyo hand-held hair dryers are being recalled. They are not equipped with an immersion protection device to prevent electrocution if the hair dryer falls into water. Immersion protection devices, which prevent electrocution, are required by industry safety standards for all electric hand-held hair dryers.

This recall involves National and Sanyo hand held hair dryers. The hair dryers are made of plastic and chrome with a fold up handle and were sold in blue, pink, white and black colors. Model numbers EH-5202, EH-5215, EH-5216, EH-7911, EH-7912, or EH-7913 and 'National' and 'Sanyo' can be found on the hair dryer's blower nozzle or handle.

The hair dryers, made in Thailand, were sold at various retail stores in the Los Angeles area from January 2007 through August 2008 for between $20 and $40.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled hair dryers and return them to the store where purchased for a full refund or free replacement.
