# Major Recall Alert: Vornado Small Room Tower Heater Recalled Due to Fire Hazard
Vornado, a well-known brand of home appliances, has issued an urgent recall of its SRTH Small Room Tower Heater in Canada and the United States due to a serious fire hazard. The company discovered that the fan blade in the product can become displaced or detached from the motor shaft over time.
