- US: hand-held hair dryers need immersion protection: In the US a hand-supported hair dryer without integral immersion protection that meets section 5 of UL 859 or section 6 of UL 1727, in practice the large block-shaped cord plug with a built-in circuit interrupter (ALCI), is deemed a substantial product hazard under 16 CFR 1120.3: it is refused entry and subject to recall. A 120 V version of a Korean model needs that plug and the UL tests before you list it; a travel adapter on the Korean plug does not meet the rule. Your company does it · ecfr.gov, checked 2026-11-10
