CPSC warns that multiple models of hair dryer brushes sold on TikTok Shop and Walmart (sold by DEISNGB) violate federal safety regulations by lacking immersion protection devices, which could result in fatal electric shock. The CPSC urges consumers to stop using and destroy these products immediately. Currently, sellers have not responded to recall requests, and TikTok Shop has also not taken remedial measures.
