Vornado Air Recalls SRTH Small Room Tower Heaters Due to Fire Hazard
Vornado Air, LLC, of Andover, Kansas · SRTH Small Room Tower Heaters
Product Description
The recalled Vornado SRTH small room tower heaters were sold in black and white and measure about 12.5 inches high by 6 inches in diameter. The recalled heaters have two heat settings (low and high) and a fan only/no heat setting. The word "Vornado" with a "V" behind it is printed on the front of the unit. The model "TYPE SRTH" is printed on the silver rating label located on the bottom of the product.
Hazard
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.
Remedy
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.
