Thousands of space heaters sold on Amazon recalled due to potential electric shock and fire risks

West Virginia (CNN)-  Thousands of space heaters sold on Amazon have been recalled due to fire and electric shock risks. 

The recall is for nearly 8,000 Vornado brand VH2 whole-room heaters with July or August 2024 date codes. 

The heaters sold for about $90 on Amazon between August and October 2024. 

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) says the device’s power cord can partially detach from the heater enclosure, eventually leading to cord damage, posing a risk of electric shock and fire. 

The agency says consumers should stop using the heaters and contact the company for a free replacement.
