What to do if you own this product
What is the hazard with Hot + Cool Heating and Cooling Fans?
Hot + Cool Heating and Cooling Fans was announced earlier this year, in the "Other" category. The fan can overheat, posing a risk of serious injury or death from a fire hazard. This falls under one of the more serious hazard categories (injury, choking or strangulation risk), so the recall covers every unit sold, not only units with a reported incident.
What should you do if you own this product?
Consumers should stop using the Hot + Cool Heating and Cooling Fan immediately and contact Merkury Innovations for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to write in permanent marker the date, their initials, and the word "Recalled" on the product. Consumers should unplug the cord, safely cut the cord and upload a photo of the destroyed product to https://merkuryinnovations.com/pages/fanrecall. After registration is confirmed, instructions will be provided on how to dispose of the product. Sold at: TJMaxx, Marshalls and Sierra stores nationwide from October 2024 through October 2025 for about $30.. If you bought it somewhere else, the remedy above still applies — contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below.
How many units are affected?
About About 18,000 units of Hot + Cool Heating and Cooling Fans are covered by this recall, according to the official count reported by the firm to the regulator.
