Sunbeam is recalling approximately 34,000 Holmes brand oil-filled heaters because they can unexpectedly spray heated oil. The firm has received about 40 reports of units spraying oil, which has caused damage to carpets and fabrics in several homes. These black or white heaters were sold at Target and other department stores between August and November 2014. Consumers should immediately stop using the heaters and contact Sunbeam for a full refund.
The heater can rupture and spray hot oil, which poses a serious risk of scald burns to anyone nearby and can cause property damage to household surfaces.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled heater, unplug it and contact Sunbeam for instructions on how to obtain a full refund.
