The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in cooperation with CE North America LLC, of Miami, Florida has voluntarily issued an expanded recall on the KUL fan heaters. The fan heaters can overheat, posing a fire hazard. Approximately 8,500 units were sold exclusively at H-E-B grocery stores in Texas from September 2015 through December 2015 for about $15.00.28,000 units were recalled in February 2016.
This recall involves KUL small, white portable fan heaters. The KUL logo is printed on the front bottom of the heaters next to the power dial. The fan heater measures about 9 inches long by 5 inches wide by 10.5 inches tall. The fans weigh about two pounds. An adhesive label is on the bottom of the heater with model number “KU39221” and “Date: 0715” in the lower right-hand corner. KUL black units were involved in the previous recall.
CE North America has received one consumer report of the fan heaters overheating and catching on fire. No injuries or property damage have been reported.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled fan heaters and contact CE North America for instructions on returning the recalled heaters with a prepaid shipping label. The firm will issue a refund check upon receipt of the returned fan heaters.
