Ceramic Heaters Recalled for Fire Hazard

Trying to warm up a chilly house with a ceramic heater? You could end up with more heat than you bargained for. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a voluntary recall of about 35,000 oscillating ceramic heaters because of a fire hazard.

The heaters, sold at Family Dollar stores can overheat and smoke, which could potentially cause a fire. Already, there have been three reports of the heaters overheating or smoking. The recalled heater is a 1500 watt oscillating ceramic heater. It has a white plastic casing with the name "Heat-Wave" in black on its top. A label on the product contains the control number "ETL 3090262."

The oscillating ceramic heaters were sold at Family Dollar stores nationwide from September 2006 through November 2006. Consumers should immediately stop using the heaters and return them to a Family Dollar store for a full refund.
