More than half a million GoveeLife and Govee smart electric space heaters are being recalled due to fire and burn hazards, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Around 512,500 recalled heaters were sold in the U.S., and around 48,600 were sold in Canada.
The recalled space heaters were sold in black and white and have “GoveeLife” or “Govee” printed on the side. Depending on the model, they measure between 9 inches and 26 inches tall.
The recalled space heaters can overheat, and "do not comply with the voluntary industry safety standard, UL 1278, posing an overheating and fire risk from wireless control features," CPSC said.
There have been 113 reports of the recalled heaters overheating, including seven reports of fires and one report of a minor burn injury, the commission said.
As temperatures continue to drop this fall, you may notice your energy bills climb higher. Fully understanding the charges and fees can help you save money.
