Dyson suspends sales in France of the 479-euro toothbrush after only ten days

SAPO Notícias13 September 2026 at 22:21

Dyson suspended sales of its smart toothbrush in France after just ten days on the market. The product, which costs 479 euros, had been presented at IFA in Berlin as one of the major technological innovations and quickly became a market sensation.

The toothbrush includes a camera and artificial intelligence, allowing users to monitor their oral hygiene in detail. This innovative technology was one of the most curious and discussed products at the tech fair in Berlin.

The decision to suspend sales in France comes at a time when Dyson was trying to expand its product range beyond its well-known vacuum cleaners and hair dryers. The specific reason for the suspension has not yet been fully clarified, but the company is reported to have withdrawn the product from French stores a few days after launch.

Why this matters

French consumers who purchased this luxury product now face uncertainty about the device's future. The case raises questions about quality control and the commercial viability of high-value tech products in the European market. This rapid suspension suggests significant problems that Dyson has not publicly detailed.
