Caframo Limited has recalled about 2,140 model 9421 cabinet heaters because a wire inside the unit may detach due to an unfinished crimp. If the wire detaches, it poses a serious risk of electrocution to anyone who touches the device. These black steel heaters were primarily sold through industrial distributors and online at Amazon.com and Caframo's website between October 2023 and May 2024 for approximately $150. No incidents or injuries have been reported.
An improperly finished crimp holding an internal wire in place can fail, causing the wire to detach and come into contact with other components or the outer shell. This failure creates a direct electrocution hazard for consumers.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cabinet heaters, unplug the unit, and contact Caframo Limited for instructions on how to receive a free repair or replacement unit. Caframo will provide a pre-paid shipping label for consumers to return the product to Caframo for repair. If the product cannot be repaired, Caframo will mail the consumer a replacement. Caframo is contacting all known purchasers directly.
Measures 5-3/4 inches wide by 9 inches long by 3-1/3 inches high. Primarily used for keeping cabinets and parking ticket dispensers warm.
