Injured by hairbrush purchased at Walmart. Goody brand has pointed sharp handle that punctured the skin on my arm when I dropped it. Caused significant bleeding and wound.

my one year old son bit through the cushion type handle of this brush and some jell came out. I don't know what this jell is made of and I did not know that it was in there or that the cushion like feel of the handle had a substance in it that could come out. I am concerned that this could be poisonous or harmful.

The Wet Brush with Twinkling Led Lights has a button battery that pops out easily . As this hair brush is marketed for kids, this is very dangerous. Needs a recall!

I was a 49 year old female who purchased a Hairstreaq Detangling Hairbrush through Amazon online. The Hairbrush was in a two-pack and each was identical except for the brush's color. I used the same brush for about three months, approximately 4 times per day. At first it seemed fine, but gradually over time I started experiencing balance issues, then increased headaches. In the last two weeks of using the brush I started to feel my vision being disturbed and my headaches increased dramatically, as well as a fall. Near the end of June, 2024, I accidentally placed the hairbrush near a metal paperclip and it jumped from a short distance to the handle of the brush. I then discovered the hairbrush had a strong magnet inside the handle. I immediately stopped using the brushes and threw them away, but my symptoms were getting worse over the next few days. I went to a doctor and requested a Brain CT scan because I was fearful of my brain being injured. I have two brain shunts in my brain. These have programmable valves in the brain shunts. I have had many shunts implanted because of a childhood diagnosis of hydrocephalus. I have been informed for many years to avoid magnets near my head where the shunts are placed, including magnetic scanners and cell phones near my head because of the danger that magnets might cause to the shunt settings. On July 2, 2024 it was determined I had pressure on the brain. On July 4th, 2024 I was admitted through the Emergency Department for possible brain shunt surgery. That is when I told the neurosurgical resident about my discovery a few days before of the magnet in the brush handle being there without my knowledge, which I had been using for three months. I was sent for further imaging and it was determined that my shunt settings had changed from their original settings to incorrect settings that caused neurological symptoms from cerebrospinal fluid imbalance, which caused my brain to swell. Instead of surgery, they reset my valve settings

I was brushing my daughter's hair with the KISS ionic smoothing brush (cordless) when she and I received a shock generated from the brush. We were sitting on the couch, with her in front of me while I brushed her hair, she felt a strong shock on the bottom of both of her buttocks, and I felt a milder shot on the bottom of my thighs. We immediately stopped using the product that we purchased less than two weeks ago.

My hairbrush has metal bristles that are not secured properly. Since buying it about 4 months ago, 4 bristles have fallen out while brushing my hair or my 4 year old's daughter's hair. I have a baby as well and I am concerned that the baby will find one of these bristles and choke on it if I do not notice one falling out. No injuries have happened yet but my baby is also only 3 months old and not mobile yet.
