Rug warmers recalled due to fire hazard

recall alertWarmly Yours, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, is voluntarily recalling about 200 Comfortplus Under Area Rug Warmers, due to the fact that the cord on the rug warmer can come loose from the plug and cause sparks or flames, posing a fire hazard to consumers.

Although no injuries have been reported, Warmly Yours has received two incidents reports involving the rug warmer. One report involved electrical sparks coming from the cord when it was pulled out. The other incident involved the cord catching fire, leaving burn marks on the area rug and on the floor.

Manufactured in China and in Canada, the cream colored rug warmers have a nonslip pad, tan nylon edging, and a black electrical cord. They were sold by Warmly Yours retail stores and flooring stores nationwide and various websites for between $200 and $600, depending on the various sizes.

Stop using the rug warmer immediately, unplug it, and return the cord to Warmly Yours using the pre-paid shipping labels the firm will provide for a full refund or a replacement product. For more information, contact Warmly Yours at (866) 369-0805 or visit their website at WarmlyYours.com.
