The XR-8801 hair dryer brush recall now covers two separate CPSC notices for products sold as DHASUWT and Wantefully. If you own an XR-8801, unplug it and stop using it while you check which recall matches your product and Amazon order. The two recalls share the same core immersion-protection problem, but they have different seller contacts, sales periods and incident histories.
Direct answer: CPSC recalled DHASUWT and Wantefully hair dryer brushes identified as model XR-8801. Owners of matching recalled products should stop using them immediately, cut the power cord as instructed, provide a photo of the destroyed product and use the refund contact for the correct brand.
Which XR-8801 recall applies to your brush?
Do not choose the refund route from the model number alone. First match the brand or Amazon order history to the correct CPSC notice.
| Recall | Approximate units | Reported incidents | Refund contact |
|---|---|---|---|
| DHASUWT XR-8801 | About 1,738 | 10 reports of smoking or catching fire; no injuries reported | Junkins — DHASUWT_recall@163.com |
| Wantefully XR-8801 | About 2,295 | One overheating/melting incident; no injuries reported | Guang Zhou — wantefully@163.com |
What is the safety problem?
Both CPSC notices say the recalled brushes lack required immersion protection. If a plugged-in appliance falls into water, the missing protection can expose a user to electrocution or electric shock. The notices also describe additional thermal hazards: DHASUWT is associated with smoking and fire reports, while the Wantefully notice identifies overheating and a burn hazard.
The incident histories are not interchangeable. CPSC reports 10 DHASUWT smoking or catching-fire incidents and no injuries. For Wantefully, CPSC reports one overheating and melting incident and no injuries.
How to check your XR-8801 before taking refund action
Confirm the model
Check the product and packaging for the XR-8801 model identification.
Check the brand or order
Determine whether your product was sold as DHASUWT or Wantefully. Your Amazon order history may help confirm the listing you purchased.
Stop using it
If the product matches either recall, unplug it and stop using it immediately.
Use the correct refund route
Follow the destruction-photo and refund instructions for the matching recall rather than contacting the other seller.

CPSC Recall 26-750 covers about 1,738 DHASUWT XR-8801 hair dryer brushes sold on Amazon.com from October 2024 through June 2026 for about $27.
Consumers are instructed to unplug and stop using the recalled product immediately. The remedy requires cutting the power cord, taking a photo showing the destroyed product and contacting Junkins for a full refund at DHASUWT_recall@163.com.
What should Wantefully XR-8801 owners do?
CPSC Recall 26-754 covers about 2,295 Wantefully XR-8801 hair dryer brushes sold on Amazon.com from February through March 2026 for about $30.
Consumers are instructed to unplug and stop using the recalled brush immediately. The remedy requires cutting the power cord, providing a photo of the destroyed product and contacting Guang Zhou for a full refund at wantefully@163.com.
Does model XR-8801 alone prove your brush is recalled?
No. The reviewed CPSC evidence establishes two specific recalls involving products sold as DHASUWT and Wantefully. The existence of the same model number under both notices is important, but TPS has not verified that every product worldwide carrying XR-8801 is automatically covered.
Match your product to the brand, listing and purchase history described by the appropriate recall before using a seller-specific refund route.
Were injuries reported?
No injuries are reported in either of the two CPSC notices reviewed for this article. That does not remove the immediate safety concern: both recalls describe a potential electrocution or shock hazard, and both tell consumers to stop using the affected products.
Why are there two XR-8801 recalls?
The important consumer-facing fact is that CPSC published two separate recall notices on September 10 for XR-8801 brushes sold under different brand and seller identities. TPS has not established that the two businesses or product listings are legally or commercially the same entity, so the article keeps their recall identities and remedies separate.
What if your Amazon order uses another name?
Do not assume another seller or brand is covered simply because the product resembles the recalled brushes or uses similar wording. Compare the model, brand, purchase history and current CPSC recall description. If the product cannot be matched confidently, use the official CPSC recall records before destroying the appliance or sending refund information.
Verification method
ThePulseSignal reviewed CPSC Recall 26-750 for DHASUWT and Recall 26-754 for Wantefully, comparing the model number, number of recalled units, sales periods, identified hazards, incident reports and consumer remedy instructions.
Limitations and unresolved facts
- The exact CPSC publication clock for the September 10 notices was not established.
- The number of recalled brushes still in consumers’ possession is unknown.
- TPS has not verified that every product worldwide using model XR-8801 is part of either U.S. recall.
- Additional sellers, brands, incidents or recall amendments could appear later.
Bottom line
If your hair dryer brush is marked XR-8801, check whether it matches the DHASUWT or Wantefully CPSC recall before using it again. Matching recalled products should be unplugged and taken out of use immediately, then handled through the correct brand-specific destruction-photo and refund process.
