SKU Description Item #63073 One Stop Gardens 15,000 BTU Tank Top Propane Heater Item #63072 One Stop Gardens 30,000 BTU Tank Top Propane Heater

Reason for Recall

In windy weather, the flame can be directed to the rear of the unit, which can melt the "tip switch" safety shut off feature at the rear of the heater. This poses a risk that the heater will not turn off if it tips over and poses a burn hazard to consumers.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled tank top propane heaters and return them to their local Harbor Freight Tools store for a full refund of the purchase price, plus applicable tax, in the form of a Harbor Freight Tools gift card. Harbor Freight Tools is contacting all known purchasers directly.
