75 unsafe hairdryers have been seized after one caught fire during testing.

Suffolk Trading Standards detained the consignment at the Port of Felixstowe on the Suffolk coast.

When carring out a restricted airflow test on one of the items, it caught fire within 30 seconds.

Suffolk Trading Standards said the product failed to meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 as it posed an electrical shock and fire hazard.

It comes just two weeks after hundreds of unsafe items sold on eBay were seized at the port.

The hairdryers were not fitted with an overtemperature device to protect from electric shock and fire, and the mains plugs were fitted with counterfeit fuses.

Following this, all 75 hairdryers were seized.

Suffolk Trading Standards is advising anyone who has purchased a product that they think may be unsafe to stop using it immediately.

It should then be reported to Trading Standards via Citizens Advice Consumer Service on 0808 223 1133.
