Why it was recalled
Stop using this product now
In windy weather, the flame can be directed to the rear of the unit, which can melt the "tip switch" safety shut off feature at the rear of the heater. This poses a risk that the heater will not turn off if it tips over and poses a burn hazard to consumers.
Using this product could cause serious injury, illness or death — stop using it now.
Reports so far: The firm has received reports of nine incidents of flame redirection to the rear of the heater and/or the tip switch safety feature melting. Three of these incidents resulted in minor burn injuries when the consumers attempted to turn off the unit.
