What safety certification should a hair dryer have?

  1. American National Standards Institute

  2. Food and Drug Administration

  3. Occupational Safety and Health Administration

  4. Underwriters Laboratories

The correct answer is: American National Standards Institute

A hair dryer should have a safety certification from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) because it sets safety standards for various products, including hair dryers. This ensures that the hair dryer has undergone rigorous testing and meets safety requirements to prevent potential hazards such as electric shocks or fires. The other options listed, while important for other types of products, do not specifically pertain to safety certifications for hair dryers. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates food, drugs, and medical devices, while the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) sets workplace safety standards and the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) focuses on product safety testing and certification.
