DESA Heating Products Recalls Portable Propane Convection Heaters

Hazard

The burners on these heaters can "flashback", which is when fire burns inside the burner tube rather than out the end. This can cause the lower portion of the burner tube to get hot enough to ignite combustible material under the heater.
