Dyson's $499 CameraJet toothbrush vanishes from shelves over leaks and failures

Dyson has stopped selling its $499 CameraJet electric toothbrush in the US, UK, France and Singapore just days after its September 8 launch. Users report water in the battery compartment and failures within 30 seconds of use; Dyson denies a recall, citing supply shortages and a 'single component issue.'

• The $499 CameraJet with a camera and Gap Optical Targeting went on sale September 8
• Complaints of water in the battery compartment and 30-second failures emerged by September 9
• Dyson won't name the faulty component, the number of affected units, or issue a recall
• Experts at iFixit and Ripcord Designs blame a waterproofing failure
