Pazazz hairdryers
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Clairol is voluntarily recalling certain Salon Power and Pazazz hairdryers purchased after January 1, 1992. The affected dryers have a large circuit breaker plug with a rectangular black test button on the front and serial number HGW0351 on the back. Up to 130,000 hairdryers meet this description. Hairdryers purchased before January 1, 1992 are not affected by this recall.
The prongs of the plug may break off and remain stuck in an electrical outlet. If this happens, touching the prongs could cause serious electric shock or electrocution. Although the problem has been identified, no injuries have been reported so far. If a consumer believes they own a recalled hairdryer, they should return it with the recall form to Dryer Plug Exchange, 80 Southfield Avenue, Stamford, CT 06902. If the plug breaks and prongs remain in the socket, consumers should not touch them and should call 1-800-843-3876 for instructions. The same number can be called with questions about the recall.
