This recall involves about 21,250 DEWALT 70,000 BTU outdoor portable cordless forced air propane heaters (model DXH70CFAVX). The heaters were recalled because the operating instructions can lead users to press the start button too quickly, which may prevent the internal fan from starting and cause the unit to overheat. There have been 11 reports of these heaters overheating, although no injuries have been reported. The yellow and black heaters were sold exclusively at Lowe's stores and online.
If the fan does not start during ignition, the heater can rapidly overheat. This creates a risk of the unit catching fire or causing burn injuries to people nearby.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled heaters and contact Enerco to request new instructions and a warning sticker describing how to start the heater using the power button. The new instructions and warning sticker are also available via Enerco's website at https://www.enercogroupinc.com/recall. Enerco and Lowe's are contacting all known purchasers directly.
The model number is located on the product's hang tag.
