3M has recalled approximately 10,000 Filtrete air purifiers
due to a fire hazard. The ion generator in the air purifiers can overheat.
3M
has received two incident reports: one of an air purifier overheating
and another of an internal room air purifier filter catching fire. No
injuries or property damage reported.
The air purifiers
are white, made of plastic and plug into the wall. They measure about 19
inches tall by 8 inches wide with a 13 inch tall by 4.5 inch wide air
filter. They have a two-speed fan knob with Filtrete embossed on the
top.
The two recalled models are Ultra Quiet, number FAP00-RS, and
Maximum Allergen, number FAP00-L, which was sold only at Lowe's stores.
The products serial numbers begin with E, F, G, H, I or J and the model
and serial numbers are located on the bottom of the product.
Consumers
should immediately unplug the recalled air purifier and contact 3M.
