Freebie travel hairdryer is recalled
An award-winning hair styling brand have been forced to recall a travel hairdryer they were giving away as a FREEBIE - as it could go up in FLAMES.
The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) issued an urgent warning over the Cloud Nine XDM 3600 Travel Dryer on 2 March due to a 'risk of fire'.
Offered exclusively as a complimentary gift to customers who bought eligible Cloud Nine products, the product could overheat during use and lead to it catching fire.
The report claims the hair product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.
The OPSS recall warns: "The item presents a risk of fire as it may overheat during use.
"This could lead to the item igniting and catching fire, presenting a risk to users."
In light of this, the product has been recalled from end users and has been removed from Cloud Nine's marketplace.
Buyers are recommended to stop using the product immediately and return it to Cloud Nine for a voucher or safely dispose of the item.
The affected batch numbers are UK-DRYER-BLCK-GWP-V1 and UK-DRYER-BLCK-GWP-V2 with barcodes of 5056593901724 and 5056593901816.
Cloud Nine has been approached for a comment.
