If you’ve purchased affordable styling products from the online retailer Temu, you should take a closer look. The company is currently warning against the use of certain devices. The background is safety issues identified in two products. Both belong to the category of electric hair care devices and can pose a serious risk in the worst-case scenario.
Among the affected items is a hairdryer without brand labeling. The device is offered with various attachments such as brushes and combs and is sold by the vendor Hair Tool Styling. It can be identified by the identification number 68742435858 and the product ID 601100970889313.
Overheating and Fire Hazard
According to Temu, this hairdryer can overheat due to a design flaw. The problem occurs in certain usage situations. As a result, smoke development or even a fire is possible. Users are advised not to use the device anymore.
In addition to the hairdryer, a flat iron is also affected by the recall. It is sold under the brand CRASTS and comes from the vendor CRASTS SHOP. It carries the identification number 2219743045 and the product ID 601099519143476. Here, too, the issue lies in the design. Specifically, there are weaknesses in the insulation of the handle and cable, which can lead to burns or electric shocks. According to the website “Produktwarnung.ev,” Temu strongly advises against continuing to use the device.

Refunds Available Through Customer Service
Temu offers a refund for both products. Affected buyers can contact customer service for this. It is important not to continue using the devices to avoid potential risks. The recall shows that low prices do not always come with adequate product safety.
A report from the EU Commission indicates that the number of recalled electrical devices has recently increased significantly. The main cause is considered to be inexpensive products, often originating from Asia and sold without clear brand labeling. These reach Europe through platforms like Temu. Especially with electrical devices, a low price can be associated with increased risks.
