CPSC Approves New Federal Safety Rule for Hair Dryers

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) unanimously approved (5-0) the establishment of a new federal safety rule on hand-supported hair dryers. Hand-supported hair dryers that lack an immersion protection device have been identified by CPSC as posing a substantial product hazard to consumers. The passage of this new rule provides CPSC with more authority to (1) stop shipments of violative hair dryers at U.S. ports of entry, and (2) issue product recalls of violative hair dryers.
