Great Innovations is recalling about 70,000 ultrasonic clean mist humidifiers.
Water can enter the base and cause the circuit board to short circuit and overheat, posing a fire hazard, the company and U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said.
The firm has received 100 reports of overheating resulting in smoke and burning odors. No injuries have been reported.
This recall involves Air Innovations branded Ultrasonic Clean Mist humidifiers with mood lights.
Model number MH-407 and date code MX1342, MX1343, MX1344, MX1344, MX1345, or MX1346 are printed on a label on the underside of the humidifier.
The recalled humidifiers are 15 inches high and were sold in four colors: black, silver, red, and blue. A mood light button and the words “Air Innovations” are on the front of the one-gallon humidifiers. QVC item number V32459 is printed on the packing slip shipped with the humidifier.
The humidifiers were sold on QVC TV during January 2014 and online at QVC.com from December 2013 to February 2014 for about $55.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled humidifiers, unplug them, and contact Great Innovations for a repair kit. Great Innovations is contacting consumers by mail.
