The CPSC recently issued a recall of 13,000 Touch Point Oscillating Ceramic Heaters that were sold in Meijer stores throughout the country, including those in Kentucky, from November 2010 to April 2011 because they pose a fire hazard. The heaters were also sold at dollar stores and flea markets.
The heaters’ oscillating mechanism has been found to short out, which could potentially cause fires. There were two reports of fires caused by the heaters prior to the recall, however, no one was injured in the fires.
Anyone who owns the heater has been advised to return it to any Meijer store for a full refund.
