Apologise
Any affected customers will be offered a replacement product where stocks allow or a full refund.
A spokesperson from UniPart said: “Whilst there is perceived to be minimal risk, our customers’ safety is paramount, so we have decided to carry out a product recall.
“The malfunction could lead to the heaters emitting carbon monoxide marginally above the allowed levels.
“Royal Classic, Calor Classic and Calor Compact portable heaters which have been purchased after the 1st August 2010 must be switched off immediately, and returned to the point of sale.
“We wish to thank our customers for their co-operation and apologise for any inconvenience caused.”
“The heaters have been imported from UniPart in the UK by a number of Irish based distributors.”
Irish retailers of these products have been notified of the fault, and sales have been suspended. No other products are affected.
