CPSC Warns Consumers to Immediately Stop Using HAIYEATBNB Electric Immersion Water Heaters Sold on Amazon.com Due to Fire and Burn Hazards; Risk of Serious Injury and Death

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using HAIYEATBNB HAIYE03 Electric Immersion Water Heaters because they pose a risk of serious injury and death due to fire and burn hazards.  The product is intended to be immersed in water for the purpose of heating the water.

Ningbo Ocean International Trading Co. Ltd, of China, manufactures this product and has been unresponsive to CPSC requests for information about this product or to conduct a recall.

CPSC is aware of 29 reports of the defective electric immersion water heaters igniting, melting, smoking or overheating, including at least 11 reports of fires. The defective electric immersion water heaters will catch fire if the unit is not completely submerged in water.

The defective electric immersion water heaters are metal tubes with several heart-shaped holes stamped into the metal and an attached yellow plastic power cord.  The words "IMMERSION HEATER" and "AUTOMATIC POWER-OFF" are printed on the packaging in green. The defective electric immersion water heaters were sold on Amazon.com from June 2023 through November 2024 for about $20.

CPSC urges consumers to immediately dispose of the electric immersion water heaters. There is no remedy for consumers because the manufacturer is refusing to cooperate with CPSC.

Report incidents involving these electric immersion water heaters, or any product-related injury, on www.SaferProducts.gov.

Individual Commissioners may have statements related to this topic.  Please visit www.cpsc.gov/commissioners to search for statements related to this or other topics.
