Buying a hair dryer can't just ignore the cheap and ignore safety

The survey data released by Zhongguancun Online recently showed that low-cost hair dryers are more concerned by consumers, and the results of random inspections of hair dryer products issued by local testing organizations show that there are unsafe risks in cheap products. To this end, experts remind consumers: buy hair dryer products, do not earn a cheap and lost security.

Recently, the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision issued the “Warning on Quality and Safety Risk of Hair Dryer Products”, claiming that 24 samples of 25 models of hair dryer samples from 17 brands collected by the market do not meet the requirements for protection against flooding. The leakage current of the sample reaches the order of causing people to get rid of themselves. In severe cases, it is enough to cause muscle twitching, heart tremor and other consequences. It is understood that the 25 models of these 17 brands of hair dryer samples cover most of the mainstream brands on the market.

Not long ago, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region also conducted quality monitoring on hair dryers and induction cookers in the circulation area of ​​the whole region. The results showed that the pass rate of the inspection of hair dryer products was 55%. The unqualified items were mainly signs and instructions. Access to live parts protection, input power and current, power connections and external cords. Previously, in September 2012, the Guangdong Provincial Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision on the special spot checks on skin and hair care products, a total of 26 batches of unqualified products were detected, and there were 22 batches of hair dryers, accounting for unqualified products. 84.6%. Among them, 6 batches of hair dryer products were found to be unqualified for the protection of live parts.

All local inspection agencies remind consumers to choose a regular channel when purchasing a hair dryer, and choose products of well-known brands as much as possible, not to be confused by the low-price promotion of the merchants. However, the “April 2013 China Hair Dryer Market Analysis Report” released by Zhongguancun Online showed that the hair dryer products under 100 yuan attracted the attention of nearly 60% of consumers, and their attention reached 58.4%. The reporter found on Taobao.com that low-priced hair dryer products have a high volume. For example, a product that sells for only 19.9 yuan and free shipping, the recent transaction volume is close to 500 units; a product with a price of 29.9 yuan free shipping, the recent transaction volume has reached more than 1,100 units.

However, the reporter opened the above product evaluation and found that some netizens said that the product did not even have a manual, and some netizens said that "the switch place is not too flexible, and when the hair dryer is switched, it will spark." Some netizens also reported that the product will emit a large plastic smell when using hot air.

"I can buy a hair dryer as long as it can dry the hair. There is no need to buy a product that is too expensive." Some consumers said this. The reporter found that such ideas are quite representative among low-priced product buyers. Experts remind consumers not to take the safety of hair dryers lightly. Because most people use it in the bathroom, the air is damp, and wet hair and wet hands are exposed to the hair dryer at work. Moreover, when the hair is dried, people will open the hot windshield. If the safety of the product is not up to standard and the corresponding protective device is lacking, it is easy to cause an accident.

According to the relevant person in charge of the Shanghai Municipal Quality Supervision Bureau, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission adopted a plan (16CFR1120) in June 2011, which mandated that hair dryers manufactured and sold in the United States must be equipped with a water-immersing circuit breaker to prevent hair dryers from immersing in water. The risk of electric shock caused afterwards. In the bill, it was mentioned that during the 20 years from 1984 to 2004, the United States received 104 deaths from electric shock caused by hair dryer immersion and 43 electric shock injuries.

However, in China, the national mandatory safety standards related to hair dryer products are only GB4706.15-2008 "Special requirements for safe skin and hair care appliances for household and similar electrical appliances" and GB4706.1-2005 for use with them. General Requirements for Safety of Household and Similar Electrical Appliances. These two standards already have some provisions on the moisture resistance of the appliance, but they are not involved in the safety protection of the appliance after it falls into the water. Therefore, the standard needs to be further improved. Reporter Sang Xueyu
