Vornado Air Recalls SRTH Small Room Tower Heaters Due to Fire Hazard
What to do (remedy: refund)
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.
Contact: Vornado toll-free at 844-205-7978 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or online at recalls.vornado.com and click on "SRTH Small Room Tower Heater Recall" or www.vornado.com and click on "Product Recalls" in the upper right corner of the webpage for more information.
Why it was 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.
Incidents/injuries: Vornado has received 32 reports of overheating from fan displacement, including eight reports of fire and one report of smoke inhalation.
Which products are affected
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.
