Vornado Air SRTH Small Room Tower Heaters Recall: Fire Hazard
Vornado Air Recalls SRTH Small Room Tower Heaters Due to Fire Hazard
What does this notice say about current status?
The available CPSC record does not provide a current recall-completion status. Do not infer that the issue is resolved from the age of the notice. Follow the official notice and contact the firm for current assistance.
Why was Vornado Air SRTH Small Room Tower Heaters recalled?
The recalled heater's fan blade can detach from the motor shaft, which can cause the fan to slow or stop, leading to overheating and melting of the enclosure and internal parts. Melted internal parts can ignite and breach the enclosure if the thermal cut off or fuse does not timely activate, posing a fire hazard.
What should I do if I have this product?
Consumers should stop using the recalled heaters immediately and contact Vornado for instructions on how to submit photos of the product and proof of destruction to receive a full refund.
