Hazard

The hair dryer does not have a thermal cut-out device. The plastic material of the casing is combustible. The hair dryer can overheat and catch fire during use causing burns to the user. The heating wire can accidentally be touched through the safety grille because the distance is less than required. The user may touch the live parts and receive an electric shock. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive and the relevant European standards EN 60335-1 and EN 60335-2-23.
