Recall Issued of Honeywell Electric Baseboard and Fan Heater Thermostats

Schlyer & Associates, Aggressive Trial Lawyers, a personal injury law firm in Merrillville, Northwest Indiana is warning of a recall issued by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission of 77,000 Electric Baseboard and Fan Heater Thermostats manufactured by Honeywell International Inc., of Morris Township, New Jersey.

According to the recall notice, the thermostats can overheat, causing them to melt and smoke. This poses a burn hazard to the consumer.  The recalled thermostats are rectangular, white, programmable thermostats used to control electric baseboard and fan heaters. “Honeywell” or “Cadet” is printed on the front of the thermostats that come in various sizes. The model number and four-digit date code are printed on a label inside the front cover of the thermostat.   See the recall notice for a listing of all of the recalled model numbers.

The recalled thermostats were sold at various home improvement stores like Home Depot, Lowes, as well as HVAC and electrical stores, and contractors from January 2000 to December 2007 for between $80 and $300.

If you have one of the recalled thermostats, you should immediately stop using the recalled thermostats by setting the thermostats to 45 degrees or turning them off. Only models with a “B” in the model number have an off switch. Consumers should contact Honeywell at (888) 235-7363 for a free replacement installed by Honeywell.
