Twin-Star is recalling approximately 31,000 Duraflame-branded electric space heaters, model DFS-220, because they can overheat and melt. This defect has led to 32 reports of the units burning or melting, including eight reports of fires. These heaters were sold in black, red, and white at various retailers like QVC, Meijer, and Ross between August 2013 and January 2014. Consumers should immediately stop using the heaters and contact the company for a full refund.
The heater can overheat, causing the unit's casing to melt and catch fire, which can ignite nearby household items. This creates a significant risk of fire and burn injuries to anyone nearby.
Customers should immediately turn off and unplug the electric space heater and contact Twin-Star for a full refund.
