AliExpress recalls over 1,100 mini travel hair dryers for shock hazards

A voluntary recall has been issued for multiple mini travel hair dryer models sold on AliExpress. The affected products include XZT Huizhou Mini Hair Dryers, Guangmei 3858 Foldable Travel Hair Dryers, LVOE-Branded Negative Ion Hair Dryers, and Multi Styler Hair Dryers (6-in-1 and 5-in-1 bundles). They lack an immersion protection device intended to prevent serious electrocution and shock hazards. The issue was identified through regulatory reviews.
