Hair winds are common home small electrical appliances. In recent years, the shape of the hair dryer has become more and more fashionable, and the volume is getting smaller. Among them, many hair dryers only need tens of yuan, or even a dozen yuan. However, these fashionable and cheap hair dryers are actually hidden with a lot of hidden dangers.

The appearance is cheap

Hidden safety hazards

Compared with a few years ago, the price of hair dryers has further declined, especially some small "mini -type" hair dryers, which are less than 50 yuan. The reporter also investigated the hair dryer products sold by the e -commerce platform. It was found that there were more hair dryers here, the shape was relatively rich, and the price was more diverse. Many products did not exceed 50 yuan, but these cheap "mini" Is hair dryer, do you have the safety attributes that household appliances should have? The reporter randomly purchased 10 hair dryers on several e -commerce platforms, and the price was about 15-50 yuan. He tested at the testing agency.

Test engineers told reporters that according to national compulsory standards and considering the safety of hair dryers, in addition to considering normal working conditions, it depends on whether this electrical appliance can still be safe when it is common in the common non -normal working state.

The reporter learned that the hair dryer is mainly composed of motors, fan blades, and electric heating elements. The motor rotates through the motor to drive the fan blades and send the heat generated by electric heating elements to achieve the purpose of drying and organizing hair. However, if the motor is damaged, it cannot achieve the functions of air supply and heat dissipation, at this time, electric heating elements may continue to heat up. In this abnormal work, hair dryers should not be dangerous. The national standard requires that during the test, the appliance should not spray flames, melt metals, and toxic or lit gas that reaches a dangerous amount. At the same time, the product shell cannot deform and cause leakage.

The test engineer strictly follows the test method required by the standard to disconnect the motor to limit the heat dissipation conditions. The reporter saw that the 30 seconds of the test was tested in the test of the tested.

In the 45th second of the test, the reporter saw that the hair dryer was already on fire, and the plastic shell quickly burned.

This hair dryer, the simulated motor was damaged for testing, the fire time was faster, and the flames emerged in only 15 seconds.

After non -normal work test, the reporter found that of the 10 tests of the hair dryers, 4 of them had smoke and fire.

The reporter learned that in general, the hair dryer needs to be installed by installing temperature control devices to avoid the danger caused by high temperature. This long strip -shaped metal piece is the temperature control device of the hair dryer. After the environment reaches the rated temperature, the power will be disconnected. After the temperature drops, the power will be automatically connected. After the test engineer opened several hair dryers, it was found that the burning hair dryers in these tests were not installed with temperature control devices.

According to some of the use habits in consumer life, the test engineer also conducted safety tests such as power cord stretching and bending on the hair dryer to test the durability of the power cord. In the power cord stretching test of this product, the vertical displacement of the soft line exceeds the standard requirements of 2 mm. Test engineers told reporters that using the metal wire in the power cord for a long time to use it, bringing the danger of electric shock. After some products, after the bending test, the wire inside the power cord was broken by half.

Among the 10 hair dryers purchased by the reporter, 2 are old -fashioned hair dryers and 8 models belong to mini net red hair dryers. After the test, it was found that the four mini -hairdrying of the flames appeared in the non -normal work test; the safety test of the two mini -type hair dryer power cords did not meet the standard requirements.

The appearance of similar appearances is different

Product ingredients are "cat greasy"

In recent years, in addition to the pursuit of performance, the fashion trend of the hair dryer has become more and more apparent. However, during the investigation, the reporter found that the price of the hair like the appearance was different, and some wholesale prices were less than ten yuan.

Hammer hair dryer is the latest explosive product in the market, but the price is hundreds of yuan, there are tens of yuan, and there are more than ten yuan. The reporter investigated a wholesale website found that the minimum wholesale price of the same hair dryer was only 6.5 yuan.

Relevant industry insiders told reporters that in fact, this is a common plagiarism phenomenon in the industry. As long as the market has novel shapes and hot sales of hair dryers, there will be a large number of products with almost the same shape in one or two months, but the price is much lower. The person in charge of a hair dryer company told reporters that cheapness was because of different materials.

The reporter learned from the test agency that this is actually the manifestation of cutting corners. If the shell material is poor, the recycling material may be used, and the shell is less than 1 yuan; the motor may use the cheapest pure aluminum wire, and the wires will also use non -standard. The number of copper wires inside There are differences in regular power cords. Make a hair dryer with these materials, and the cost of a product is less than 5 yuan. Relevant industry insiders told reporters that there may be multiple problems in the products produced by this kind of reduction of costs on various accessories.

During the normally work test of the hair dryer, a variety of products smoke and fire are because they must save the cost of temperature control devices. The reporter inquired about the relevant website that the temperature control device of the hair dryer was between 0.6 ~ 1.5 yuan, but for some companies, this was an important profit point. The reporter saw that the internal accessories of many hair dryers actually reserved the location of the temperature control device, but it was not installed during the production process.

A large number of "white labels" products flow into the e -commerce platform

In addition to cutting corners, some hair dryers have also sold a large number of products without branding to e -commerce platforms, which also threatened consumers' personal property security.

The reporter learned that in fact, many hair dryer companies also produce products without branding. The industry is called "neutral packaging" or "white label" products. Sales of business platforms. The person in charge of a company revealed that this product can be customized according to needs. If a large number is 6 yuan, you can wholesale. If you want to be a web publicity map, you must add 9 yuan and provide a 3C certification certificate. However, this "white label" hair dryer generally does not install temperature control devices. Ye Hanxiang, senior engineer of Tongzhong Standard Technology Service Co., Ltd.: Safety is actually the first. No matter how your functions are, if you can't guarantee safety, this product has no meaning at all, and it will also cause great danger.

The reporter learned that the retail sales of the hair dryer market in 2021 reached 5.38 billion yuan, an increase of 10.7%year -on -year, and the number of retail sales was more than 27 million units, a year -on -year increase of 0.3%. But the reporter also found that the quality data of hair dryer products is not optimistic.

The latest domestic appliance supervision random inspections of the State Administration of Market Supervision showed that the non -fitness rate of skin and hair care equipment is 6.8%. Special random inspections on skin and hair care equipment products in Shandong, Henan, Shanxi and other provinces. 25%, 10%, 11.1%. Most of these unqualified products are hair dryers. The "Cleaning Sanitary Electric Appliance Product Quality Supervision and Small Inspection" of the Guangdong Provincial Market Supervision Department shows that of the 73 unqualified products, the hair dryer products account for 48 models, accounting for 60 % of the overall unqualified number, many of which, many of which The projects involve electrical safety.
