WASHINGTON Consumers should stop using certain Junkins DHASUWT hair dryer brushes following a recall announced Sept. 10, 2026, over electrocution, electric shock, smoking and fire hazards.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the recalled brushes do not have an integrated immersion protection device required to help protect users if the appliance falls into water while plugged in. The missing protection can create a risk of serious injury or death from electrocution or electric shock.
The products also may pose smoking and fire hazards, according to the agency. The notice did not identify reported injuries, sales locations, product quantities, lot numbers or UPC codes.
Consumers who have one of the recalled DHASUWT hair dryer brushes should immediately stop using it and contact Junkins for information about a refund or replacement. People should not use the appliance near water or leave it plugged in when unattended.
The recall affects consumers who purchased or otherwise obtained the specified DHASUWT hair dryer brushes. Because the notice does not provide retailer or geographic sales information, consumers should check the product name and recall details against their own appliance.
The CPSC classified the recall as unclassified.
