The Hairdryer Sting


 "U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) seized thousands of hair dryers recently that were determined to constitute a “substantial product hazard” under U.S. law, for failing to have adequate immersion protection.  CBP seized the hair dryers at the ports of Los Angeles (9,768 hair dryers) and Miami (3,614), because they lacked shock protection for consumers in the event of the hair dryers' immersion in water."  Now, let me get this straight.  CBP can stop hair dryers from entering the country but continue to let illegals come through our unprotected borders.  Something about this picture just does not same to hold water or its charge.  However, don't you feel a whole safer knowing that those hairdryers have been seized!
