Product Recalls

In cooperation with the US Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC), Berko Electric, of Peru, Indiana (now Marley Engineered Products of Bennettsville, SC) is recalling older (obsolete) model toe-space heaters manufactured before February 15, 1985 because of a potential safety and fire hazard. Homeowners having these old heaters should immediately stop using them and disconnect power to the heaters.

In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Berko Electric of Peru, Indiana, is announcing the voluntary repair or replacement of approximately 1.5 million baseboard heaters. Wires inside the heaters may deteriorate, allowing electrical currents to flow to the outside steel air deflector cover. Arcing or sparking may occur, burning holes in the cover. As a result, a potential fire hazard exists. In addition, if the heaters are not properly grounded, an electrical shock could exist.
