Merkury Hot + Cool fan: 18,000 units that can burn at the outlet

MI-DHC02 heating fans can overheat and catch fire when powered — two fires, one with smoke damage. 18,000 units; refund after cutting the cord.

怎么回事

Merkury Innovations recalled about 18,000 Hot + Cool Heating and Cooling fans (model MI-DHC02) on June 11, 2026 — the fan can overheat and catch fire when connected to power. Two reports of fire, one with smoke damage to property; no injuries.

The fans sold for about $30 at TJ Maxx, Marshalls and Sierra stores nationwide from October 2024 through October 2025. The refund requires marking the fan RECALLED, cutting the cord and submitting a photo.

A discount-rack fan carrying a heating element — the fire rode the same shelf as the bargain.

为什么会这样

  • Overheat and fire when powered — 2 fires, 1 smoke damage; 18,000 units at ~$30; TJ Maxx/Marshalls/Sierra Oct 2024-Oct 2025; refund on cut cord
  • A heating fan is a controlled fire by design — the defect removed the control, not the fire
  • The cut-cord refund is the recall's physics: a recalled heater must die before it can burn
代价18,000 fans cut-corded for refund代价高昂

教训

A $30 heater is a wager that the thermostat and the fuse were engineered, not omitted. Two fires say the wager lost — and the cut-cord ritual is the company collecting evidence before the next one.
