Incident narrative
SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20170613-73EE5-2147399738. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: ENVI HH1012T. Incident: On Saturday, June 10, 2017 my husband went into the bathroom on the ground floor of our home around 9pm and found it filled with smoke. Even though the Envi wall heater appeared to be on fire, the unit was still on, as evidenced by the light on the on/off button. My husband unplugged the heater, removed it from the wall and took it outside. I came downstairs and entered the bathroom to find it filled with smoke, and black soot covering the wall near the location where the Envi heater had been installed prior to my husband removing it moments before. We opened windows and doors to air out the bathroom and monitored the bathroom and adjacent rooms to make sure the interior of the adjacent walls had not been ignited.
