CPSC recall #26532: Vornado Air Recalls SRTH Small Room Tower Heaters Due to Fire Hazard. Hazard: The recalled heater's fan blade can detach from the motor shaft, which can cause the fan to slow or stop, leading to overheating and melting of the enclosure and internal parts. Melted internal parts can ignite and breach the enclosure if the thermal cut off or fuse does not timely activate, posing a fire hazard. Injury/incident reports: Vornado has received 32 reports of overheating from fan displacement, including eight reports of fire and one report of smoke inhalation. Details: The recalled Vornado SRTH small room tower heaters were sold in black and white and measure about 12.5 inches high by 6 inches in diameter. The recalled heaters have 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 "TYPE SRTH" is printed on the silver rating label located on the bottom of the product.
