Recently, the Zhejiang Institute of Product Quality and Safety conducted a study on the quality and safety risks of electric nail clippers, and is now releasing the following consumer guide:
Electric nail clippers are considered "tech innovation at your fingertips" and are currently a popular trending gadget. Operating on the principle of gear transmission, these devices use internal motors to rapidly rotate the cutting head, allowing for the trimming of nails and the smoothing of uneven surfaces. With their novel design, portability, user-friendly features, and affordable prices (ranging from tens to over a hundred dollars), electric nail clippers have gained favor among consumers, especially beauty enthusiasts. Additionally, some parents use them for trimming their children's nails.
Electric Nail Clipper Products
While electric nail clippers are generally designed for adult use, some products available in the market come in animal or cartoon shapes, potentially attracting children, especially those of a younger age, and posing certain risks of mechanical injuries during play. To guide consumers on the correct selection and use of electric nail clippers, technical experts from the Zhejiang Institute of Product Quality and Safety provide detailed recommendations:
1. Pay Attention to Product Information, Instructions, and Safety Tips When purchasing electric nail clippers, carefully examine the product and its packaging to ensure it includes specifications, model numbers, compliance with standards, manufacturer or seller information, etc. Avoid buying low-quality "three no" products. Check if the product comes with detailed instructions to prevent misuse, and look for safety tips such as "keep away from children."
2. Consider the Shape and Decoration of the Product Shell Some electric nail clippers in the market feature animal or cartoon shapes, which can easily attract children and pose risks of pinching or cutting injuries during play. As household electrical appliances, national standards (GB 4706.1) stipulate that "the shape and decoration of the appliance's shell should not make it easily mistaken as a toy by children." Therefore, when purchasing electric nail clippers, try to avoid products with animal or cartoon shapes to prevent potential injury risks during play.
3. Focus on Anti-Misuse Protection Functions Some electric nail clippers are designed with protective functions to prevent consumer mishandling, such as requiring a long press or double-clicking the power button to activate the product. These features reduce the risk of accidental activation due to misuse, providing a level of protection against unintended use, especially by children. When purchasing electric nail clippers, pay attention to whether the product has protective functions or devices to mitigate the risk of accidental injuries.
4. Ensure Correct Product Usage Electric nail clippers are intended for adult use. When using them for trimming children's nails, it is crucial for parents to operate the product. Avoid excessive nail trimming, and never let any part of the body, other than the nails, come into contact with the cutting head of the electric nail clipper to prevent pinching or cutting risks. When not in use, securely store the electric nail clipper to prevent children from accessing and playing with it, minimizing the risk of accidental injuries.
This consumer guide aims to assist individuals in making informed decisions when purchasing and using electric nail clippers, emphasizing the importance of both product selection and safe usage practices.
