What happened

The Consumer Product Safety Commission and Fasco Consumer Products Inc. are recalling approximately 661 Dayton Model 4E154 Electric Ceiling Heaters sold through Grainger stores nationwide from January 1993 to August 1994. The heating element terminals in these units could expose consumers to fatal electric shocks or fires. The recalled heaters are 10 inches in diameter with a round metal nameplate displaying the model number, and they are identified by date codes ranging from A93 through M93 and A94 through D94 on the data plate located on the upper inside surface of the heater housing.

To determine if your heater is affected, turn off the power supply at the circuit breaker and check the data plate inside the unit. If your heater has one of the recall date codes, stop using it immediately and call a qualified electrician to disconnect it. Contact your nearest Grainger branch store for a replacement heater. Once the electrician removes and installs the replacement, send the defective unit back to Fasco Consumer Products in the new heater's box. Fasco will reimburse reasonable labor and freight charges. For more information, call Fasco at (800) 252-1182. No injuries have been reported.
