J&D Brush is warning consumers to stop using specific Bio Ionic curling irons following the discovery of a manufacturing defect, which could expose users to a risk of serious burns.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the Bio Ionic curling iron recall on October 23, after hundreds of reports of barrels detaching from the device.

Curling irons can reach temperatures of more than 400 degrees Fahrenheit, using high heat to shape curls and waves. If the barrel separates during use, it can cause burns when it falls or if the user instinctively tries to catch it.

According to federal safety officials, there have been 258 reports of Bio Ionic curling iron barrels detaching, which have led to at least six minor burn injuries.
