“KUL Fan Heater Recall: Fire Hazard from Overheating.” GovInfoNow, updated October 11, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/4259-kul-fan-heater-recall-fire-hazard-from-overheating. Based on CPSC recall #6644 (https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2016/CE-North-America-Recalls-Fan-Heaters).

Why it’s dangerous

The fan heaters have a defect that causes them to overheat during normal use. This overheating can lead to the unit catching fire, posing a significant fire hazard to users and their homes.

Who’s affected

People who bought KUL portable fan heaters at Bed Bath & Beyond stores or online between August 2015 and October 2015. These small, black units were sold for about $20.

How to tell if you have this one

Check if your heater is a small, black portable unit with the KUL logo printed on the front bottom near the power dial. It should measure about 9 inches long by 5 inches wide by 10.5 inches tall. Look for an adhesive label on the bottom with model number "KU39229" and a date code like "Date: 0515" in the lower right-hand corner.
