A mother whose three-year-old girl’s hair was ripped out by an electric cleaning brush says the internet giant Temu “does not care about the safety of people”.
Amy, 36, from Norwich, bought the brush online for £4 to “make life easier” with housework, but it caught in her daughter’s hair when the child took it out of the box.
She reported the item as it appeared on the shopping site to Norfolk Trading Standards, who said Temu had now removed it from sale in the UK.
A spokesperson for the Chinese-owned site told the BBC: “We are deeply concerned to hear about this incident and wish the child a full and speedy recovery.”
They added: “The safety and wellbeing of our customers are always our top priority, and our customer service team is in contact with the family to offer assistance.”

I’m sorry your shitty mom ass let your child play with a power cleaning tool and you let your kid get hurt. Quit projecting out over your own fuck up.
Nope. Such power cleaning brushs should not spin, but vibrate or oscillate, and should have a safety break. This thing is completely misconstructed.
You’re an idiot. There can’t be a “safety brake” because you need the power and torque to scrub hard. If they were oscillating they wouldn’t work with using heavy pressure. That’s like saying you need a safety brake on a grinder.
Keep your cleaning supplies away from children.
Lol what?
There’s dozens of similar products sold at home depot, target, and other name brand stores. They sell brush attachments for drills too, I see Ryobi makes some.
You’re saying that a “spin scrubber” shouldn’t spin? Huh.
