Big Lots has recalled approximately 70,500 Climate Keeper portable ceramic heaters because they can overheat and melt during use. There have been four reports of these heaters melting, which creates a serious risk of starting a fire or causing an electric shock. The recall includes two 1500-watt models sold at Big Lots stores nationwide between September 2010 and March 2012 for about $20 to $25. Consumers should immediately stop using these heaters and return them to any Big Lots store for a full refund.
The internal components of the heater can overheat, causing the plastic housing to melt and potentially exposing live electrical parts or igniting nearby materials.
Consumers should stop using the recalled product immediately and return it to a Big Lots store for a full refund.
