What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is a risk-of-harm product (propane heater) where no injuries have been reported yet, placing it in the High category per the rubric. The 11 documented overheating reports confirm the hazard is real and active, but the absence of reported injuries prevents a higher severity classification.

Plain-English summary

Enerco Group Inc. is recalling about 21,250 DEWALT 70,000 BTU outdoor portable cordless forced air propane heaters, model DXH70CFAVX. The heaters are yellow and black and were sold at Lowe's stores nationwide and online from May 2024 through January 2025 for approximately $200.

The recalled heaters' operating instructions can lead consumers to depress the start button too quickly, preventing the fan from starting properly. This causes the heaters to overheat, posing fire and burn hazards. The manufacturer has received 11 reports of overheating, though no injuries have been reported.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled heaters. Enerco is contacting all known purchasers directly. Consumers can request new instructions and a warning sticker by contacting Enerco at 800-964-4328 (Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET), visiting https://www.enercogroupinc.com/recall, or contacting Lowe's.
