American-made heaters sold on Amazon are being recalled due to electrical shock and fire hazards

About 8,000 American-made heaters have been recalled in the U.S. after officials determined they could cause electric shocks and fire hazards.

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission on Thursday recalled 7,780 Vornado VH2 Whole Room Heaters sold exclusively on Amazon.

CPSC says the power cord can “partially detach” from the heater compartment, which over time can lead to cord damage, electric shock, and fire hazards.

As of Tuesday afternoon, no injuries had been reported, officials said.

The recall covers Vornado VH2 full-room heaters with a “JUL24” or “AUG24” date code and “TYPE VH2” stamped on the silver-grade label on the bottom of the heater, the commission said.

According to the CPSC, the heaters are all-white and have a thermostatic temperature control, automatic or continuous fan operation and two temperature settings. “Vornado” with a red “V” behind it is printed on the front of the room. Only units with a date code of “JUL24” or “AUG24” are included in the call.

The heaters in question were sold on Amazon from August to October for $90, according to the commission.

The product is sold by Vornado Air LLC, based in Andover, Kansas and manufactured in the United States, officials said.

“Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled heaters and contact Vornado to confirm that their product is part of the recall and receive instructions on how to receive a free replacement heater,” the CPSC said.
