Portable Infrared Radiant Quartz Electric Space Heaters
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Optimus has recalled two models of Infrared Quartz Radiant heaters—model H-5210 (produced in 2011) and model H-5211 (produced in 2012)—because the heaters can fail to prevent nearby combustible materials from igniting when they contact the unit, creating a fire hazard. The recalled heaters are white, approximately 12 inches wide by 13 inches tall by 6 inches deep, with "Optimus" printed on the top left and a control knob on the top right. You can identify your heater's model number and production year on a label on the back of the unit.
According to the recall, consumers should immediately stop using the heater and contact Optimus to request a free replacement. Optimus offers the option of a comparable ceramic heater or a new model quartz radiant heater (model H-5510), which was to be available after August 2013.
