Meijer is recalling about 4,560 Touch Point portable electric baseboard convection heaters because they can overheat and catch fire. There have been two reports of these heaters overheating, including one fire that caused property damage. The affected black heaters measure approximately 30 inches long and were sold at Meijer stores between September 2011 and February 2013 for about $50. Consumers should immediately stop using the heaters and return them to any Meijer store for a full refund.
The internal components of the heater can overheat during operation, creating a risk of fire that can lead to property damage or personal injury. Two incidents of overheating have already been reported, with one resulting in a fire.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled heaters and return the product to a Meijer customer service desk for a full refund.
