What Is Being Recalled?
Vornado Air, LLC, of Andover, Kansas, is recalling about 255,000 SRTH Small Room Tower Heaters. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall (number 26-532) on June 4, 2026. The heaters were sold at stores nationwide — including Costco, Kohl's, Bed Bath & Beyond, and Ace Hardware — and online at Vornado.com and Amazon.com from August 2013 through May 2026 for between $40 and $50.The recalled heaters were sold in black and white and measure about 12.5 inches high by 6 inches in diameter. They have two heat settings (low and high) plus a fan-only/no-heat setting. The word "Vornado" with a "V" behind it is printed on the front of the unit, and the model marking "TYPE SRTH" is printed on the silver rating label located on the bottom of the product.
Why Are the Heaters Being Recalled?
The recalled heater's fan blade can detach from the motor shaft. When that happens, the fan can slow down or stop, which causes the enclosure and internal parts to overheat and melt. If the thermal cut-off or fuse does not activate in time, the melted internal parts can ignite and breach the enclosure, posing a fire hazard.Vornado has received 32 reports of the heaters overheating from fan displacement, including eight reports of fire and one report of smoke inhalation. Because of the fire risk, consumers should stop using the recalled heaters immediately rather than waiting until they are ready to request the refund.
Who Is Affected?
You are affected if you bought a Vornado SRTH Small Room Tower Heater between August 2013 and May 2026 at a national retailer such as Costco, Kohl's, Bed Bath & Beyond, or Ace Hardware, or online at Vornado.com or Amazon.com. Check the silver rating label on the bottom of the unit for the "TYPE SRTH" marking to confirm whether your heater is included.If your heater is part of the recall, unplug it and stop using it now. Do not continue using the heater while you wait for the refund process to be completed.
How Do I Get a Refund?
All Vornado SRTH heaters are recalled, and the remedy is a $49.99 refund processed through an online recall registration on the official Vornado SRTH recall page. To register, turn off and unplug the heater, then locate the silver sticker on the bottom of the unit. The sticker lists the TYPE (for example, SRTH), a date code (for example, JUL22), and a serial number — enter all three in the online registration as shown in the form's example.Vornado issues the refund only after it validates your online recall registration. Do not return the heater to the store where you bought it; the refund is handled through the recall registration rather than the retailer. The official recall page is the place to register and to check the status of your refund.
