Health Canada on Thursday issued a recall for a cordless hair clipper due a risk of laceration and burns.
The recall, issued jointly by Health Canada and the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission, pertains to StyleCraft Instinct Cordless Clipper. The handheld device is powered by a chargeable lithium-ion battery that is at a risk of overheating.
“The chargeable lithium-ion battery can overheat, posing a burn hazard to the consumer,” the recall order reads, adding that while the company has not received any reports of the lithium-ion battery overheating in Canada, U.S. officials have received six such reports.
“Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled product and contact StyleCraft, LLC to arrange for a free battery replacement,” the recall notice said.
