Sunbeam Recalls Holmes Oil Filled Heaters Due to Scald Hazard

Holmes Heater Sunbeam Products, Inc. has issued a recall for their Holmes brand Oil-Filled Heater because it can spray heating oil, which poses a scald hazard.

The recall involves 34,000 Holmes brand oil-filled heaters that were sold at Target and small departments stores from August 2014 through November 2014 for $50. The heaters are black or white, with model number HOH3000 or HOH3000B printed on a label on the bottom. The Holmes logo is near the power switch and temperature control. Sunbeam advises consumers to immediately unplug the heaters and contact them for a full refund.
