1. Recall Summary

Vornado Air, LLC, of Andover, Kansas, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), has announced a recall of its SRTH Small Room Tower Heaters. The recall was initiated due to a fire hazard associated with the product. The recall notice was published on June 4, 2026. The recall also applies to approximately eight units sold in Canada, as referenced in a related recall notice from Health Canada.

2. Affected Products

The recalled product is the Vornado SRTH Small Room Tower Heater. The heaters were sold in black and white colors. The unit measures approximately 12.5 inches in height and 6 inches in diameter. The recalled heaters feature two heat settings (low and high) and a fan-only/no heat setting. The word “Vornado” with a “V” behind it is printed on the front of the unit. The model designation “TYPE SRTH” is printed on the silver rating label located on the bottom of the product.

Approximately 255,000 units were sold in the United States, with an additional eight units sold in Canada. The heaters were sold at stores nationwide, including Kohl’s, Bed Bath & Beyond, and ACE Hardware, as well as online at Vornado.com and Amazon.com. The products were sold from August 2013 through May 2026, with a retail price between $40 and $50. The units were manufactured in China.

3. Hazard Information

The recalled heater contains a fan blade that can detach from the motor shaft. This detachment can cause the fan to slow or stop, leading to overheating of the enclosure and internal parts. According to the recall notice, melted internal parts can ignite and breach the enclosure if the thermal cut-off or fuse does not activate in a timely manner. This condition poses a fire hazard.

Vornado has received 32 reports of overheating resulting from fan displacement. Among these reports, there have been eight reports of fire and one report of smoke inhalation. No other injury or incident data was specified in the recall notice.

Consumers are instructed to stop using the recalled heaters immediately. The recall notice does not specify any alternative use or temporary mitigation. Consumers must contact Vornado for instructions on how to proceed with the recall process.

5. Official Remedy

The official remedy for this recall is a full refund. To receive the refund, consumers must contact Vornado for instructions on how to submit photos of the product and proof of destruction.
