Marley Engineered Products Recalls Baseboard Heaters Sold at Grainger Due to Fire Hazard

CPSC · 10745 · published 2010-07-06

CPSC campaign 10745

Hazard

The baseboard heaters are labeled for 240 or 208 volt use. However, some of the heaters have an internal heater built for a maximum of 120 volts. If the heater is connected to a 240 or 208 volt electrical circuit as directed, the unit could catch fire.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately stop using the heaters and inspect the product's nameplate to determine whether it is involved in the recall. Consumers with affected heaters should disconnect the product at the circuit breaker or fuse. A qualified electrician should inspect the color of the wires inside the heater's electrical access panel to determine if the wires are yellow and white. Consumers should return the affected heaters to Marley for a free replacement. Marley will pay reasonable labor charges required to inspect and exchange units. Marley is directly notifying known consumers.
