Hairdryers Recalled by Pacific LA
PRODUCT: Hair Dryers - Pacific LA, of Los Angeles, Calif., is
voluntarily recalling more than 5,100 portable hairdryers. The recalled
hairdryers are both standard and mini or travel hairdryers. They come in
various wattages, colors and models. Brand names on some of the
hairdryers are "LOGIX" and "TraVeller's." Some were sold with brushes,
combs, adapter plugs or travel cases. They are made in China.
PROBLEM: The hairdryers present shock and electrocution hazards because
they are not equipped with ground fault circuit interrupters to cut off
electrical current in case of contact with water.
INCIDENTS/INJURIES: None reported.
WHAT TO DO: Consumers should stop using the recalled hairdryers
immediately and return them to the store where purchased for a full
refund. For additional information, consumers should call Pacific LA at
(888) 999-1559 between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. PDT Monday through Friday or
