  Ceramic Heaters Could Be Fire Hazard



Lasko, a ceramic heater manufacturer, has recalled more than one million units after it disclosed to the government that the heater's electric cord can overheat and cause a fire.

The company said that it had received 28 reports of failed power cords and several reports of "minor property damage", but no consumers have been injured.

The heaters involved in this recall were all manufactured in 2005. Model numbers included in the recall are: 5132, 5345, 5362, 5364, 5420, 5532, 5534 and 5566. Model numbers are located on the bottom of the unit or at the rear of the base of the heaters.

Stop using the heater and contact Lasko toll-fee at 800-984-3311 with questions.
