ITHACA, NY (607NewsNow) – A space heater has been recalled.

Vornado Air is pulling back its VH2 model Whole Room Heater because of electric shock and fire hazards. Officials say the cords can detach from the heater enclosure and wear down over time. No injuries or incidents have been reported thus far.

Although Vornado products are sold at many national retailers, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says this model was available exclusively on Amazon from August 2024 through October 2024. Affected products will have a “JUL24” or “AUG24” date code and “TYPE VH2” printed on the underside of the base. “Vornado” with a red “V” behind it is printed on the front of the heater.
