It was described as a cylindrical navy and copper-gold hair styler with a twisted, heated end for styling hair in the form of a Dyson Airwrap and supplied with accessories and carry case.
However, the product has been identified as presenting a serious risk of electric shock.
The product's internal wiring is inadequate with insufficient creepage and clearance distances.
Should the wiring fail, the insufficient creepage and clearance distances may lead to the product becoming live, which if touched by a user can lead to an electric shock.
The insufficient creepage and clearance distances also present a risk of fire.
The product does not meet therefore not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.
The listing has been removed by eBay and owners have been recommended to stop using this product immediately.
The CTSI advised customers to contact the distributor they purchased from to request a refund.
