“KUL Fan Heater Recall: Fire Hazard from Overheating.” GovInfoNow, updated October 11, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/4215-kul-fan-heater-recall-fire-hazard-from-overheating. Based on CPSC recall #6694 (https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2016/CE-North-America-Expands-Recall-of-Fan-Heaters).

Why it’s dangerous

The primary danger is that the fan heaters can overheat during normal use, which creates a significant risk of starting a fire. Although only one incident has been reported so far, the potential for property damage and injury from fire necessitates immediate action.

Who’s affected

This recall affects consumers who bought KUL fan heaters at H-E-B grocery stores in Texas between September 2015 and December 2015. While no injuries have been reported, the fire risk makes this a serious concern for anyone owning these specific units.

How to tell if you have this one

Look for small, white portable fan heaters with the KUL logo printed on the front bottom next to the power dial. The unit measures approximately 9 inches long by 5 inches wide by 10.5 inches tall and weighs about two pounds. Check the adhesive label on the bottom for model number "KU39221" and a date code of "Date: 0715" in the lower right-hand corner.
