What to do now

Voduz Blow Out Hairdryer JB3509A could give an electric shock. Live parts may be reachable, or the insulation or earthing may not be good enough.

  1. Switch it off at the wall and unplug it. Do not use it again, even briefly.
  2. Do not attempt a home repair or a different plug.
  3. Use the contact details in the official notice to arrange a refund, repair or replacement.
  4. Incidents and injuries can be reported to Trading Standards via the Citizens Advice consumer helpline.

Why it matters. Mains electricity in the UK is 230 volts, enough to cause serious injury or death. Cheap chargers, adaptors and appliances sold online are among the products most often found with this fault.

Get help urgently
