Enerco has recalled about 21,250 DEWALT Propane Heaters that were sold at Lowe’s due to a fire hazard and burn risk.
The recall involves DEWALT 70,000 BTU Outdoor Portable Cordless Forced-Air Propane Heaters with Model Number DXH70CFAVX.
The heaters were recalled because the operating instructions can cause consumers to incorrectly depress the start button too quickly, and prevent the fan from starting, causing the heaters to overheat.
There were 11 reports of overheating. No burn injuries were reported.
The recalled heaters were sold exclusively at Lowe’s stores and online at lowes.com from May 2024 through January 2025 for about $200.
The manufacturer, Enerco Group Inc., is urging customers to immediately stop using the recalled heaters and visit the website to request new instructions and a warning sticker.
The warning sticker will describe how to start the heater using the power button.
