Some Hot Air Brushes Recalled Over Electrocution, Shock Risk

By: KDKA-TV News Staff

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - Some hot air brushes are being recalled because of an electrocution and shock risk.

The recall affects about 100,000 BrushX Hot Air Brushes. They're being recalled because they don't have an immersion protection device, meaning they could be dangerous if they fall into water when plugged in.

"This recall involves the BrushX Styler, Dryer & Volumizer, also called the BrushX One; and the BrushX Gen.2 hot air brushes. The brushes were sold in black and black/pink color combinations. Recalled brushes have a 'not waterproof' symbol to the left of the CE mark on the rear of the brush," a notice on the Consumer Product Safety Commission's website says.

The brushes were sold online at mybrushx.com from April 2020 through August 2021.
