Plain-English summary

Vornado Air LLC is recalling approximately 5,000 Sunny CS (cribside) model EH1-0090 electric space heaters sold in the United States, with an additional 100 units sold in Canada. The heaters were sold in white with melon and gray accents from October 2017 through December 2017 at retailers including Bed Bath & Beyond, buybuy Baby, Amazon.com, Target.com, and Vornado.com for approximately $100. The recalled units have serial numbers with 1 and 7 as the fourth and fifth digits (XXX17-XXXXXX).

The recall is due to a defect where a broken motor mount can allow the electric heating element to come into contact with interior plastic materials, causing them to ignite. This poses fire and burn hazards. Vornado has received five reports of the heaters catching fire, but no injuries or property damage have been reported.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled space heaters and unplug them. They should contact Vornado toll-free at 844-202-7978 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or visit www.vornado.com to click on the recall graphic on the homepage, to receive instructions for a free replacement unit with free shipping.
