Summary

Approximately 8,500 KUL small white portable fan heaters are being recalled because they can overheat and catch fire. This recall expansion follows a previous recall of black units and specifically affects model KU39221 sold at H-E-B grocery stores. One report of a heater catching fire has been received, though no injuries have been reported. Consumers should immediately stop using these heaters and contact CE North America for a full refund.

Risk

  3. Verify the KUL logo is printed on the front bottom of the unit, next to the power dial. The heaters measure approximately 9 inches long by 5 inches wide by 10.5 inches tall.
