Illinois Residents, Check Your Space Heaters ASAP—Here's Why
Vornado, a brand on Amazon, has recalled tons of American-made Whole Room Heaters sold on Amazon due to a risk of electric shock and fire hazards. If you have the type "VH2" model dated "JUL24" or "AUG24", you might want to unplug it immediately.
Customers who've bough these models have seen the power cord partially detached from the heater enclosure, which can quickly lead to electrical shock and fire hazards.
What should you do if you have the VH2 model from Amazon?
- Stop using the space heater ASAP
- Reach out to Vornado to get a replacement
- Don't want a new space heater altogether? Return it to Amazon and give the specific reason why you're returning the item.
Over 7,000 VH2 space heaters have already been recalled, so check yours as soon as you can. Over 500,000 other space heaters have been recalled due to overheating issues. Stay safe next time you turn yours on!
