What happened

Pebco Inc. has recalled hairdryers sold under the Pebco and Dubl Duck brand names, including the Black Jet 1200, Black Jet 1700, and Pebco 1500 models. These hairdryers contain undersized wiring, lack ground fault circuit interrupters to protect against electrical shock from water contact, and have loose electrical connections. These defects create electrocution and fire hazards. The recalled models can be identified by their model names printed on the air intake grill. The Black Jet 1200 and 1700 models are black with gold lettering, while the Pebco 1500 is white with purple lettering. All recalled hairdryers have a label on the handle stating "DO NOT USE/IMMERSE IN WATER...Made in China."

According to the recall notice, consumers who own these hairdryers should stop using them immediately and return them to the store where they were purchased for a full refund.
