H.E. Industrial is recalling about 8,500 Profusion Heat electric garage heaters (model HA22-48M) because the heating element can overheat and start a fire. These red heaters were sold at Menards and Northern Tool stores and websites between August 2014 and March 2019 for approximately $100. Consumers should immediately stop using these heaters and contact the company for a full refund or return them to a Northern Tool store for a refund or gift certificate.
The internal heating element is prone to overheating, which creates a significant risk of the unit catching fire. While no injuries or incidents have been reported in the United States, the defect poses a property damage and personal safety hazard.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled heaters. Contact H.E. Industrial to get a full refund or return the heaters to a Northern Tool store for a full refund or a gift certificate for heaters purchased at Northern Tool stores. For heaters purchased at Menards, contact H.E. Industrial for a full refund.
