DREO and regulators announced a recall on October 29, 2026, for DR-HSH015 space heaters made from April 2025 through January 2026. The heaters can overheat and ignite, posing fire and burn hazards, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada.
Owners can find the model number and manufacture date, printed as year and month, on the label underneath the heater. The affected products are black ceramic electric heaters with a DREO mark on the front and a remote control. The model and date are the important identifiers; appearance alone does not establish whether a unit is covered.
Both agencies advise owners of recalled heaters to stop using them and contact DREO for a free replacement. The CPSC notice and Health Canada notice provide the official contact and remedy information.
Health Canada reports company figures of 338,800 units sold in the United States and 36,288 in Canada. CPSC lists about 338,800 units, plus about 36,300 sold in Canada. The U.S. notice lists sales from September 2025 through October 2026; Health Canada gives a September 2025 through August 2026 sales period.
Health Canada says the company had received one incident report and no injury reports in Canada as of October 22, and 16 incident reports and one injury report in the United States by that date. Separately, CPSC says DREO received 17 reports of heaters igniting, including three involving property damage and one hand burn. Its notice does not specify a geographic scope or cutoff for that count.
Rowan Finch’s take: The sales figures describe the recall’s reach, not the number of heaters that failed or have been replaced. The reported incidents do not establish a failure probability, and the notices do not establish replacement availability or performance.
What we don't know yet
- The CPSC incident count’s exact geography and cutoff.
- Replacement stock, timing, completion and performance.
- Has either regulator changed the affected scope, remedy or dated incident figures?
- Can later official evidence establish replacement completion, stock or timing without submitting personal information?
