Countertop Water Dispensers
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Greenway Home Products has recalled certain countertop water dispensers sold under the Vitapur, Greenway, and Polar brand names due to two hazards: the internal heating element can overheat and drip molten metal through ventilation openings in the base onto the countertop, creating a fire hazard, and the heating element poses an electric shock risk if touched through the vents. The recalled models are the Greenway GWD2630W (serial numbers starting with 0606 through 0711), Polar PWD2635W, and Vitapur models VWD2636W, VWD2636BLK, and VWD2636RED. Model and serial numbers are printed on a white label on the back of the dispenser's base, and file number 218326 appears on a silver sticker on the back.
Consumers who own recalled dispensers should stop using them immediately and contact Greenway Home Products to receive a free repair. Model numbers followed by a "1" or "2" (such as GWD2630W-1 or PWD2635W-2) and dispensers with no ventilation openings underneath the base are not part of this recall.
