hausdok Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 On December 1st 2005, CPSC, along with King of Fans Inc. announced a recall of about 202,000 oil-filled radiator heaters for a possible burn and fall hazard. According to the manufacturer, welds on the heating fins can break, allowing oil to leak out, posing a burn and fall hazard to consumers. At the time of the initial CPSC release, King of Fans Inc. had received 81 reports of incidents involving leaking oil and two reports of minor burns along with two reports of falls in the oil. The units involved are the Maxi-Heatâ⢠Electric Oil-Filled Radiator Heater, model number 70030, that was distributed by King of Fans Inc. of Fort Lauderdale, Fla. and manufactured in China that were sold at Home Depot stores in the Northeast and Midwest from October 2005 through November 2005 for about $35. These heaters have seven fins, one of which has the control panel attached to it. The units are gray with a black control panel. ââ¬ÅMaxi-Heatââ¢Ã¢â¬ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
