  1. No one hurt

    Made Jan 26, 2026, sent to the company Feb 9, 2026, published by CPSC Feb 24, 2026

    The product, in the report: Dear CPSC Compliance Officer, I am writing to report a significant safety violation regarding [Brand Name: Paraheeter/QHA-15DB]. Issue: This portable electric heater is being sold as compliant with UL 1278, but mass-produced units lack the mandatory tip-over switch.Context: The manufacturer claims it is a “wall-mount” unit to bypass regulations, but the product is sold with floor stands and a power plug, classifying it as a “Movable Room Heater” per UL 1278 definitions. Evidence: The CSA test lists a tip-over switch as a critical safety component. 2.
