Vornado Air has recalled its VH2 Whole Room Heaters. Johnson//Becker, PLLC, lawyers have extensive knowledge and experience in defending clients who have been burned or injured by a faulty or defective product. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the Vornado VH2’s power cord can partially detach from the heater enclosure, potentially leading to cord damage over time, posing electric shock and fire hazards.
The January 16, 2025, recall includes about 7,780 Vornado VH2 Whole Room Heaters with a “JUL24” or “AUG24” date code and “TYPE VH2” printed on the silver rating label on the underside of the heater. The heaters are off-white and have thermostatic temperature control, automatic or continuous fan operation, and two heat settings.
