​​Vornado SRTH Small Room Tower Heater​ recalled due to fire hazard

Issue

Vornado recently determined that the fan blade can become displaced or detached from the motor shaft over time, which can cause a slow or stopped fan condition that can lead to overheating and the potential for melting of the enclosure and potential internal ignition. If the thermal safeties do not timely activate to cut power, an internal flame may breach the heater’s enclosure, posing a potential fire hazard. As of ​May 25, 2026​, the company has received no reports of incident or injury in Canada. In the United States, the company has received 32 reports of overheating from fan displacement, including 8 reports of fire and 1 report of injury.
