The Consumer Product Safety Commission, in conjunction with Wal-Mart, recalled approximately 75,000 oscillating heaters known as Maxi-Heat™ Dream Tower Heaters.
The government agency said that the wires inside the oscillating heater can short circuit and spark, posing a fire hazard to consumers. The manufacturer had reported more than cases of short circuits, but no injuries.
The recalled model is CH920. The ceramic portable electric heaters are the oscillating tower type. They are grey and have a control panel attached to the top of the unit. “Maxi-Heat™” is printed on the control panel. The model number is printed on the ETL label on the bottom of the back side of the unit.
These units were sold at Wal-Mart stores between August 2005 and December 2005 for $40. Consumers should immediately stop using the appliance and call King of Fans toll-free at (866) 443-1291 between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. E.T., Monday through Friday.
