Recall of Touch Point Heaters
December 7, 2010, by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.
There is a recall of over 6,000 Touch Point oscillating ceramic heaters. The recall stems from a problem with the oscillating mechanism in these small, low priced heaters. It is shorting out which causes a potential fire hazard. There have been a few accidents resulting in property damage but no injuries.
This recall involves Touch Point PTC oscillating ceramic heaters with model number PTC-902 and serial numbers between 35005-43008. They were sold in Meijer stores in Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, and Ohio from October 2009 through October 2010 for about $25.
