Product
Hair dryer
Name
Small Caring hair dryer
Type / model
Hair Dryer - AC110V - AC240V - 50Hz
Description
Foldable hairdryer. Product sold online, in particular via AliExpress (unique identifier: 1005007970750858).
Risk
The product has insufficient insulation. Live parts are not sufficiently protected from parts accessible to the user, in particular the metal grille of the air outlet. The safety distances between the grille and the bimetallic switch and between the grille and the heating element are insufficient. The user can therefore access live parts and receive an electric shock, especially in the case of moisture or condensation. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive.
