Over 600,000 GoveeLife and Govee smart electric space heaters have been recalled due to reports of fire and at least one burn injury. The recall was put out by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) who informed Amazon that the products "may not meet current mandatory voluntary safety standards."
The recall follows at least 113 reports of overheating, including at least seven fires.
According to the CPSC, at least seven different models from Govee are being recalled, with model numbers H7130, H7131, H7132, H7133, H7134 and H7135. Some are labeled as being from Govee while others feature GoveeLife printed on the unit. The models range in size from 9 inches high to 26 inches high and cost between $30 and $150.
According to the CPSC, if you own one of these space heaters you should immediately "stop using the recalled electric space heaters and contact the brands for a refund. Unplug the electric space heater, cut the power cord, and send an image of the destroyed electric space heater, the manufacturer’s label and SN Code on the bottom or side of the unit to GoveeLife or Govee." If you gave anyone a heater that might be affected, it's recommended that you tell them to reach out to Govee.
If you own one of the affected models, you should have received an email from Amazon customer service that directs you to the company's "Recalls and Product Safety Alerts" page to learn how to safely get rid or return the heaters.
