Thousands Of Hair Dryers Sold in New York Recalled

If you have a hair dryer at home, make sure you check to see if it's been recalled due to a significant safety hazard.

A popular brand of hair dryer sold through Walmart, Target, and Amazon has been recalled after it was discovered that it could pose the risk of electrocution.

Hair Dryers Recalled

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), a recall has been issued for 56,300 Remington hair dryers due to a significant safety hazard. Empower Brands announced the recall on August 14, 2025, for the Remington hair dryers, model number D3190DCDN.

The hair dryers (below) were sold in purple with black accents and have “Remington” written in white text on the side, and have three black-colored operating buttons on the handles. The product measures about 8.5 inches long, 11.6 inches high, and 3.6 inches wide, weighing approximately 1.5 pounds.

Why Hair Dryers Have Been Recalled

According to the CPSC, the handheld hair dryers lack an immersion protection device, which poses a risk of death or serious injury from electrocution or shock if the hair dryers fall into water while plugged in.
