Incident Overview

On January 21, 2026, a consumer was using an Olivia Garden Ceramic + Ion Round Thermal Hair Brush for the second time when the end of the brush briefly grazed their neck. The contact left a circular first-degree burn on the skin. Upon inspecting the brush, the consumer discovered that unlike many round brushes that have a plastic cover over the tip, this brush has a metal end with exposed ceramic from the barrel. The consumer believes the exposed ceramic caused the burn.

The consumer noted that the brush was used as intended and that the burn occurred during normal styling. After the incident, the consumer checked Amazon and found multiple other user reviews reporting similar burns from the same brush model. The consumer filed the report with CPSC SaferProducts, identifying the defect as a design issue. The report is publicly available under Report ID 5867561 at saferproducts.gov.

Safety Concerns

Immediate Dangers: The exposed ceramic barrel at the brush tip can reach high temperatures during use. Direct skin contact, even brief, can cause first-degree burns similar to touching a hot surface. The metal end cap may also retain heat and contribute to burn risk.

Who Might Be Affected: Anyone using the brush is at risk, especially when brushing near the face, neck, or ears. The design places the hot ceramic tip in close proximity to sensitive skin areas during normal styling motions.

Environmental Triggers: The hazard is present whenever the brush is heated, either by a blow-dryer or by heat styling tools. The risk increases with higher heat settings and longer use, as the ceramic retains heat even after the heat source is removed.

Warning Signs: There are no visible warnings on the brush tip; the metal end cap may feel warm but does not signal the extreme temperature of the exposed ceramic beneath. Users may not realize the tip is hot until contact occurs.
