Summary
CPSC recall database updated to include new product recall (Hot + Cool Heating and Cooling Fan) alongside existing drain cover recall. No change to underlying recall policies or consumer instructions.
Why it matters
This is a government database update documenting new product recalls. It does not change recall eligibility criteria, enforcement mechanisms, or consumer remediation requirements. No new regulatory obligations are imposed on sellers or platforms.
Recommended action
Monitor for recall relevance to inventory; no policy compliance action required. Existing recall handling procedures remain unchanged.
The drain covers do not bear the required product markings, in violation of the mandatory safety standard under the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (VGBA), posing risk of serious injury or death from entrapment and drowning hazards. The drain covers also fail to meet safety requirements because they are missing statements regarding the service life of the covers and installation and maintenance instructions.
The fan can overheat, posing a risk of serious injury or death from a fire hazard.
Consumers should stop using the Hot + Cool Heating and Cooling Fan immediately and contact Merkury Innovations for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to write in permanent marker the date, their initials, and the word "Recalled" on the product. Consumers should unplug the cord, safely cut the cord and upload a photo of the destroyed product to https://merkuryinnovations.com/pages/fanrecall.
