Fire risk: Health Canada recalls two-in-one mini ceramic space heater

 

 

Health Canada has recalled a two-in-one mini ceramic space heater with humidifier due to a fire risk. Officials said the space heater lacks a fire and heat-resistant enclosure, increasing the risk of fire.

The product, sold by the company Simnoble through Amazon Canada, is sold as a tabletop heater and humidifier unit and contains a water reservoir above the ceramic heating element to provide the humidifier function, the agency says.

It is reported that 852 ceramic space heaters were sold on Amazon.ca from July 2022 to September 2023. Health Canada has warned that anyone who has purchased these space heaters should stop using them immediately.
