Hurt, no treatment Made Feb 21, 2025, sent to the company Feb 26, 2025, published by CPSC Mar 12, 2025
The product, in the report: Lasko heater model 755320
2 month old heater gave a strong electrical shock when power button was pressed. It was strong enough to go all the way up the arm and cause pain for days. The lasko heater stopped working after the shock and will not reset. There was no debris in the unit and it was clean. It has never been near water and the inside humidity was only 23 percent. This is very dangerous and the manufacturer refuses to replace unit without delay.

The product, in the report: Lasko movable air heater Model # 5397. Tower unit
We recently purchased two of your tower heating units and have received great service until last week when one of the units began sparking fire at the outlet. We took the unit out of service thinking it may have been an issue with this particular one until last night when the second unit MELTED the wall outlet and grounded out the entire room. Thank God the damage was contained to just the outlet because we were awake and were able to see the incident as it was occurring.
