Recall By: CPSC; Research Products Corporation

Problem:

The humidifiers contain an electrode wire with a “D” shaped connector that can loosen causing arcing and/or overheating, posing fire and burn hazards to consumers.


Sold: About 36,200 were sold in the US and about 3,800 were sold in Canada at HVAC contractors nationwide and online at Amazon.com, Sylvane.com, Supplyhouse.com, Humidifiers.com and other websites.


Actions:

Immediately stop using and shut off the recalled humidifiers and contact Research Products at 1-888-742-2401 to receive a free electrode wire repair kit and assistance with identifying a qualified contractor to replace the faulty electrode connector wires free of charge.
