70.
The purpose of the federal safety rule is to reduce the risk of shock and
electrocution hazards created by hand-supported hair dryers.
71.
CPSC staff evaluated units of the hair dryers identified in the table in Paragraph
39 and determined that the hair dryers are hand-supported and lack an immersion protection device integral to the power cord.
72.
Because these hair dryers lack an immersion protection device, they are not in
conformance with the requirements of Section 5 of UL 859 or Section 6 of UL 1727. These hair dryers present a significant electric shock and electrocution hazard to users.
73.
Therefore, pursuant to Section 15j of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. 2064j, and 16
C.F.R. 1120, they are a "substantial product hazard" under Section 15a2 of the CPSA, 15
U.S.C. 2064a2.
