More than half a million space heaters sold on Amazon are being recalled due to a safety issue, federal product regulators announced Thursday.
GoveeLife and Govee Smart Electric Space Heaters can overheat, posing fire and burn hazards, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission posted online.
According to the safety commission, about 512,500 were sold in the United States and about 48,600 were sold in Canada.
Testing determined the smart electric space heaters do not comply with "the voluntary industry safety standard, UL 1278" posing an overheating and fire risk from wireless control features, the safety commission wrote in the release.
According to the commission, there have been 113 reports of overheating, including seven reports of fires and one report of a minor burn injury.
