The heater’s fan has been known to malfunction, and this can cause the unit to overheat and ignite, thereby causing a fire hazard. The majority of these heaters are used in apartment complexes and other residential living facilities. Affected consumers should stop using the product immediately and contact Glen Dimplex to arrange for a free replacement heater and installation service.
Keep in mind that there has been at least one incident of the unit igniting, which was reported to the manufacturer prior to the announcement to the recall on September 12, 2024. Considering where these units are typically installed, there may be dozens of injuries and fatalities from just one of these heaters malfunctioning.

No matter what type of accident you’ve had, protecting your legal right is critical to recovering from your injuries and obtaining compensation from the responsible party. If you sustained injuries and property damage from a fire resulting from a recalled Cadet Apex72 Electric Heater, here are the steps we recommend:
- Call 911 and go the emergency room if you have severe injuries
- If you have less serious injuries, try to take photos of them, as well as the scene of the accident. Make sure to capture the damage to your building, residence, and other areas that were affected by the fire.
- After being treated for your injuries, report the incident to the manufacturer but keep things short and factual, without going into too much into detail. Remember – this is not the same as filing an accident claim; you are simply notifying the company that there has been an accident. By saying too much now, you can actually end up saying something that will used against you in the future.
- The manufacturer may offer a refund or some other way to make up for what happened to you. Say no, and don’t hesitate to say you’ll be speaking with a lawyer. If you accept any remedy offered by the company, that can lessen their liability and make it harder for you to sue them later on.
- Consult a product recall class action lawyer as soon as possible.
