Approximately 17,000 Lifepro brand portable infrared quartz space heaters are being recalled because the screws holding the back plate are too short. This can cause the back plate to fall off when you unplug the heater from the wall, exposing live internal parts. The recall includes model LS-IQH-DMICRO (400-watt with digital display) and model LS-IQH-MICRO (450-watt with no display). These black plastic heaters were sold at Meijer, Northern Tool, and major online retailers like Amazon and Walmart between January and December 2014. Consumers should immediately stop using these heaters and dispose of them, as the manufacturer is no longer in business to provide a remedy.
The back plate of the heater can detach during removal from an electrical outlet, exposing the user to live electrical components and posing a high risk of electrical shock.
The firm is no longer in business. The remedy is no longer available. Destroy and dispose of this recalled product.
