The product, in the report: Product Name: DeLonghi Comfort Temp Full Room Radiant Heater Model Number: EW7707CM-6A Color: Light Gray Size & Dimensions: Height: 25.2 inches Width: 13.8 inches Depth: 10.5 inches Weight: Approximately 23.1 lbs Product Type: Oil-filled radiator heater Power: 1500W, 120V Control Type: Mechanical thermostat with multiple heat settings Features: Comfort Temp Technology: Automatically adjusts heat settings 7 Oil-Filled Fins: Permanently sealed, maintenance-free Safety Features: Alleged overheat protection, thermal cutoff Purpose: This is an electric oil-filled radiator heater designed for indoor home heating, marketed as energy-efficient and safe for full-room heating. It is advertised to provide consistent warmth without requiring maintenance due to its permanently sealed oil reservoir. Retailer & Purchase Information: Purchased From: Amazon Purchase Date: November 20, 2020 Amazon Product Page: https://www.amazon.com/DeLonghi-Comfort-Thermostat-Settings-Features/dp/B000TGDGLU?th=1 Defect Details: Despite claims of safety and reliability, the unit unexpectedly exploded, releasing hot oil under pressure, causing property damage and ongoing exposure concerns.
What Happened?
On February 17, 2025, at midnight, a DeLonghi oil-filled radiator heater (model: EW7707CM-6A) suddenly exploded in a bedroom, causing hot oil to spray forcefully in one direction due to pressure buildup and leak onto the floor and surrounding area. The unit had been operating normally before the incident, with no prior signs of malfunction.
The heater was placed on a flat, wood floor, away from any obstructions, and was being used under normal operating conditions to heat a bedroom.
Damage & Health Concerns
The explosion caused oil to penetrate the engineered wood flooring, leaving irreversible damage despite extensive cleaning efforts. The room continues to emit a strong odor, raising serious concerns about potential health risks from prolonged exposure.
Impact on Household
The rooms occupant, a 12-year-old child, was present during the explosion. While no immediate physical injuries occurred, the sudden, violent explosion caused significant distress and fear, waking the entire household. Since the incident, the strong oil odor has made it difficult for the child to continue sleeping in the room, impacting her well-being and comfort.
Manufacturers Response & Safety Concerns
I reported the incident to DeLonghi customer service on February 18, 2025. The company acknowledged the failure but refused to provide written confirmation when I specifically asked whether the heater oil is non-toxic.
Additionally, DeLonghi has insisted on retrieving the damaged unit via regular [REDACTED] shipping, despite my concerns about further oil leakage during transport. They have ignored repeated requests for safe handling procedures and have not addressed potential exposure risks associated with the leaked oil.
Broader Consumer Risk
This product failure presents a serious safety concern that may impact other consumers using similar DeLonghi oil-filled heaters. I have found multiple reports of similar leaking, burning, and explosion incidents under reviews on Amazons product page: https://www.amazon.com/DeLonghi-Comfort-Thermostat-Settings-Features/dp/B000TGDGLU?th=1 Given the potential fire hazard, exposure risks, and the manufacturers lack of transparency, I urge CPSC to investigate this matter to prevent further harm to consumers.

Hurt, no treatment Made Jan 22, 2025, sent to the company Jan 24, 2025, published by CPSC Feb 7, 2025
The product, in the report: On 12/23/2024, a Delonghi oil-filled radiator type heater (Model# EW6507L, Type# KH650715P, Serial# 73515 JN KV) spontaneously caught on fire at around 4:30 AM in my bedroom. Had I not been at home, the house surely would have caught on fire. The unit is white with dimensions (inches) 23.5 Height x 12.5 Length x 5.5 Width. The unit performed well for many years (more than 10) prior to flaming. The power in the room was short circuited and there were no burn marks at the power outlet (no apparent electrical fault here).

The product, in the report: Oil filled electric radiator space heater
I purchased a Delonghi brand oil filled radiator electric space heater in 11/2024 and the product and packaging had some sort of irritant or allergen on it that made me very sick. Upon opening the product, my skin turned red and got scaly, my eyes itched and swelled, I got dizzy and tired, and eventually got very spaced out. I contacted the company who suggested I might have just gotten a bad one and suggested I try a different model from a different store. A couple weeks later in 12/2024 I tried a different model from another store and had the same issue. I previously purchased a similar heater from Delonghi in 2022 and had no such issues. Something is going on with their current model year heaters that caused an illness or reaction.

The product, in the report: DeLonghi Oil Heater Light gray infertek 3089052 Confonne to UL Std. 1278 Model:TRLS0715ELWH Type: TRRS0715EL 120 V~ 60 Hz 1500 W
Today my husband said he smelled a burning smell and thankfully our heater cord was pulled out of the socket because it was melting. It is a DeLonghi oil heater that he purchased last year for the winter and we used it more this month and in November. What happened was the plug began to melt. It was not in the wall but surge. We are glad because the wall socket would have had to be repaired. This heater’s cord was not heavy duty and was defective because it’s still fairly new. There were no injuries. It was used it the living room away from all objects but the plug was the only issue. The info is: Model:TRLS0715ELWH Type: TRRS0715EL 120 V~ 60 Hz 1500 W Just wanted to report this as a hazard. Now we cannot use it anymore, waisted money, only used last yr winter and just now, and the plug began to melt.

The product, in the report: Oil filled space heater.
The oil filled DeLonghi space heater fell over on my leg and caused a serious wound that will take months heal. The design of this heater is particularly dangerous to families with young children, pets and the elderly. The base is completely inadequate to support the weight and height of the heater. Further, its radiator design features very sharp edges, which put a 4 inch gash in my leg through a pair of blue jeans! Imagine if I were wearing shorts, or it fell on a sleeping pet or child! This is a very dangerous product that requires a redesign of its base, which does not support its weight and height.

The product, in the report: DeLonghi Model: EW6507L Type: KH650715P Serials: 42512 JN, 44312 JN DLT These are approximated 3 foot tall oil-filled electric radiator heaters. They are off-white with a black control panel and red thermostat dial. The sticker says “made in China” and they are UL 816F Listed
Our landlord provided us with 4 Delonghi Oil-filled radiator style electric heaters with the following model, type and serial numbers: Model: EW6507L Type: KH650715P Serials: 42512 JN, 44312 JN DLT
These heaters all have serious defects and nearly caused a fire in our house. All of the power cords on these heaters get very hot when being used on the 1500W setting. The prongs of the plugs get extremely hot and all of them have melted the plastic surround the metal prongs causing them to come loose and some to even fall off. One of the heater plugs got so hot that it caused the outlet to melt and turn black. Still another one of the heaters had a wheel break off, causing it to fall over and start smoking. In all of these instances, we immediately stopped using the heaters.
We called Delonghi’s Customer Support Safety line, and they assured us that none of these heaters are on their recall list and are “safe to use.” Obviously they are not safe to use, and I am making this report to ensure that other consumers are warned of the dangers of these heaters.
