Vornado Air is recalling about 79,000 VH110 Whole Room Vortex electric space heaters because they can overheat and melt. This defect has led to 29 reports of units melting, including seven reports of heaters catching fire, one case of smoke inhalation, and property damage from soot. The recalled heaters were sold in black and white at retailers like Target, Home Depot, and Amazon from June 2013 through May 2014 for about $60. Consumers can receive a free replacement unit including free shipping.
The internal components of the heater can overheat, causing the plastic casing to melt or catch fire. This poses a significant fire hazard and risk of burn injuries to consumers and can ignite nearby household items.
Customers should immediately turn off and unplug the electric space heater and contact Vornado for instructions on how to receive a free replacement unit, including free shipping.
