Incident Report Number: 5891086
Severity Type Name: First Aid Received by Non-Medical Professional

Incident Overview

On February 8, 2026, a consumer used Conair self-grip curlers as intended. During use, the consumer's hair became severely entangled in multiple rollers, unable to be freed without cutting. The consumer experienced scalp burning and pain during and after removal. Following the incident, a localized bald spot developed, consistent with traction-related hair loss.

According to the CPSC SaferProducts report (ID 5891086), no adequate warnings were provided about the risk of severe tangling, hair loss, scalp injury, or pain during normal use. The consumer retained the product and packaging. The severity was classified as requiring first aid from a non-medical professional.

Safety Concerns

Immediate Dangers: The self-grip design can trap hair strands, leading to painful tangling that may require cutting hair for removal. This can cause scalp burns and pain during the entanglement and extraction process.

Long-Term Risks: Traction from entangled rollers can pull hair from the follicle, potentially resulting in permanent localized hair loss (alopecia) if the tension is severe or repeated.

Who Might Be Affected: Any user of the product, particularly those with long or fine hair, may be at risk. The hazard occurs during normal use and does not require misuse.

Warning Signs: The design lacks visible warnings about entanglement risks. Users may not anticipate the need for caution until hair becomes trapped, making prevention difficult.
