Honeywell HHF360B

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20260304-B6134-2147323009. Severity: No Incident, No Injury. Product: Honeywell HHF360B (Electric Heater. Honeywell HHF360B). Incident: The power cord was worn down at the base of the heater. It triggered a small fire as a result of the damaged cord. IMPORTANT: As seen in the "Damaged Cord" photo attachment, the insulation on the power cord had worn down over time. It is my opinion that the power cord connection location should not be at the base of the heater. This caused a wearing down of the cord over time, thus creating a fire hazard which indeed took place. The power cord connection should be up higher on the heater body. At the base there is too much bending and eroding over time. The product is a Honeywell Heater, 360 (degree) Surround Heat, Fan Forced Technology. HHF360B I was using the product. The product was being used as directed, on a flat surface near my bed. No injuries, but I heard a popping sound, saw my bedroom wall illuminating, then saw a very small fire on a pierce of cardboard at the base of the heater. Of course, it's a good thing I heard and saw what was happening as I lay in my bed, fortunate to have been awake when this happened.
