The product, in the report: 700 Watt Towel Warmer
This 76 year old consumer thought there may be an issue with his towel heater sometime around August 2018 when he noticed slight bulging in the slats. As time has gone on he has noticed more and more bulging which has brought him to the conclusion that there may be excessive heat coming from the unit. If he turns this unit he can hear liquid gurgling inside. He is reporting this towel heater as a potential fire and burn hazard and a possibility of dowTherm fluid leakage. There are no injuries being reported He contacted the manufacturer’s representative around November/December 2018 and he was advised that a recall on other units did not apply to his unit and he should be happy to have had as many years of service from his towel heater.
