Vornado SRTH Small Room Tower Heater Recall 2026 – Fire Hazard

Health Canada, in a joint action with the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Vornado Air, LLC, has issued a recall of the Vornado SRTH Small Room Tower Heater due to a serious fire hazard. The recall affects approximately 8 units distributed in Canada and 212,000 units sold in the United States. The affected heaters were sold from January 2013 to May 2026, and consumers are urged to stop using the product immediately.

What Products Are Being Recalled?

This recall covers the Vornado SRTH Small Room Tower Heater, produced between 2013 and 2022. The heater is designed to heat and circulate air in indoor living spaces. It is available in black and ice white colors, measuring approximately 12.5 inches high by 6 inches wide by 6 inches in diameter. It features two heat settings (low and high) and a fan-only setting. The word ‘Vornado’ with a ‘V’ logo is printed on the front, and the model designation ‘TYPE SRTH’ appears on the silver rating label on the bottom of the unit.

• Model SRTH Black – Part Number: EH1-0084-06, UPC: 043765008478
• Model SRTH Ice White – Part Number: EH1-0084-43, UPC: 043765009390

The product was manufactured in China and distributed by Vornado Air, LLC, based in Andover, Kansas, United States.

Why Was This Recall Issued?

Vornado determined that the fan blade in the affected heaters can become displaced or detached from the motor shaft over time. This displacement can cause a slow or completely stopped fan condition, which leads to overheating. The overheating can result in the melting of the heater’s enclosure and potential internal ignition. If the thermal safety mechanisms do not activate in time to cut power, an internal flame may breach the heater’s enclosure, posing a significant fire hazard to consumers and their properties.

As of May 25, 2026, no reports of incident or injury have been received in Canada. However, in the United States, the company has received 32 reports of overheating related to fan displacement, including 8 reports of fire and 1 report of injury.

Consumers who purchased a Vornado SRTH Small Room Tower Heater between January 2013 and May 2026 are affected. Approximately 8 units were sold in Canada and 212,000 units were sold in the United States.
