New York-based P3 International is warning consumers the cartridges used in its IonizAir Table Top Air Purifier may overheat and pose a fire risk, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Friday.
The recall applies to about 83,000 units with the model number P4620 with lot numbers beginning with either 03 or 04 or having no lot number.
The company has learned of 10 reports of purifiers melting or catching fire. No injuries were reported.
The air purifiers were sold through mail-order and online retailers from January 2003 through July 2004 for between $60 and $90 US.
Consumers should stop using the units and contact the company for a replacement cartridge.
