Incident Overview

On May 22, 2026, a consumer purchased a Hatteker Ultra Active 3 Step Blade Electric Shaver RSCX-7568 from Amazon. During normal use, the motor overheated and shut itself off. After allowing the device to cool for several hours, the consumer attempted to use it again. At that point, one of the blades malfunctioned and scraped a portion of the consumer's scalp. Shortly afterward, in a second malfunction, the top of the device broke apart.

The injury caused profuse bleeding, and the consumer had to hold a bathroom face towel against the wound to control it. The consumer immediately went to the Emergency Room at a local hospital. A triage nurse treated the wound and worked to stop the excessive bleeding. The ER doctor evaluated the injury and administered a tetanus shot. The consumer retained the damaged product and described the incident to medical staff. According to the incident report (ID 6063835, available at https://www.saferproducts.gov/PublicSearch/Detail?ReportId=6063835), the device was used as intended when the failures occurred.

Safety Concerns

Immediate Dangers: The motor overheating can cause the device to shut off unexpectedly, but more critically, it may lead to blade malfunction and disintegration. In this incident, a blade scraped the consumer's scalp, causing deep laceration and profuse bleeding that required emergency medical treatment.

Long-Term Risks: Infections from lacerations, especially if not promptly treated, can lead to complications. The consumer received a tetanus shot, indicating concern for bacterial infection. Scarring may also result from deep cuts.

Who Might Be Affected: The primary user of the shaver is at risk, as the blade failure occurs during normal use. Bystanders could be affected if the broken device projects debris.

Warning Signs: The motor overheating and automatic shut-off served as a warning sign that the device was malfunctioning. Consumers should be alert to unusual heat, unexpected shutdowns, or strange noises, which may indicate an impending blade failure.
