Fans Recalled Nationwide Due to Fire Hazard That Can Cause Serious Injury or Death

Merkury Innovations is recalling its heating and cooling fans because the devices can overheat, posing a risk of serious injury or death from a fire hazard, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).

The recalled Hot + Cool Heating and Cooling Fan is a portable hot-and-cool bladeless fan and heater, with model number MI-DHC02, which can be found on a white label on the bottom of the product and on the packaging. The fan heater is approximately 13 inches tall, 5 inches wide, and 5 inches deep, and weighs about 2 pounds. About 18,000 units are affected.

The fans were sold at TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and Sierra stores nationwide from October 2024 through October 2025 for about $30.

The company has received two reports of the fan catching fire when connected to a power source, including one report of smoke damage to property. No injuries have been reported.
