DREO Space Heaters Recalled in Canada Over Fire and Burn Hazards — 36,000 Units Affected

Health Canada, in conjunction with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), has issued a recall for DREO portable oscillating ceramic space heaters, model DR-HSH015, due to fire and burn hazards. The recall covers 36,288 units sold in Canada and 338,800 units sold in the United States.

Consumers are urged to immediately stop using the recalled product and contact DREO for a free replacement space heater.

Identifying the recalled units

• Model: DR-HSH015 (printed on a label on the underside of the heater).
• Brand marking: "DREO" on the front of the unit.
• Manufacture date: April 2025 (2025/04) through January 2026 (2026/01).
• Sold: September 2025 to August 2026.
• Appearance: Black, approximately 29 cm (11.5 in) wide by 33 cm (13 in) tall, with a remote control.

The hazard

The recalled space heaters can overheat and ignite, posing fire and burn hazards. As of October 22, 2026, DREO has reported one incident and no injuries in Canada, and 16 incidents with one reported injury in the United States.

What to do

• Stop using the heater immediately.
• Contact DREO at 833-820-0887 (Monday to Friday, 8:30 am to 6:00 pm ET) or email [email protected].
• Visit the recall webpage at recallrtr.com/spaceheater for further instructions.
• Do not resell, redistribute, or give away the recalled product. The Canada Consumer Product Safety Act prohibits doing so.

Why this matters for EV owners and home-chargers

While space heaters may seem unrelated to electric vehicles, the recall is relevant to Canadian EV households in two ways. First, many EV owners who charge at home use supplemental heating in garages and workshops during cold months; a faulty heater in a garage with a connected EV charger compounds the risk. Second, the recall underscores the importance of purchasing consumer electronics from reputable Canadian importers — in this case, DREO Innovation Inc. of Acton, Ontario — and checking Health Canada's recall database before buying small appliances.

If you own a DREO DR-HSH015 unit, do not discard it until you have received your free replacement through the official recall process. Report any incidents or injuries to Health Canada through the Consumer Product Incident Report Form.
