  • No one hurt 2 CPSC: Incident, No Injury

As each report says it, in short words; CPSC’s own words are under each.

The reports, as CPSC published them

Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

  1. No one hurt

    Made Dec 15, 2022, sent to the company Dec 27, 2022, published by CPSC Jan 11, 2023

    The product, in the report: SAI / Comfort Zone infrared heaters sold at Home Depot.

    The infrared heaters sold at Home Depot under the name of SAI / Comfort Zone are burning out, and overheating. After taking it apart, the power input wire going into the power level rotary switch is corroding. The wire strands are breaking away from the switch. The remaining strands of wire are trying to conduct 12 amperes of current, and overheating, and burning completely off. I have eight of these heaters, and four of them have failed at the same point on the rotary switch.
