What to do if you own this product
What is the hazard with SRTH Small Room Tower Heaters?
SRTH Small Room Tower Heaters was announced earlier this year, in the "Other" category. 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. That is the hazard as reported publicly by the firm and the regulator; it does not necessarily mean every unit has failed.
What should you do if you own 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. Sold at: Stores nationwide, including Kohl's, Bed Bath & Beyond and ACE Hardware, and online at Vornado.com and Amazon.com from August 2013 through May 2026 for between $40 and $50.. 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 255,000 (In addition, about eight were sold in Canada) units of SRTH Small Room Tower Heaters are covered by this recall, according to the official count reported by the firm to the regulator.
