Emerson Sensi Wi-Fi Thermostat (pictured) recalled due to fire risk

Heads up!

Due to fire risk, the Consumer Product Safety Commission has recalled approximately 135,000 Emerson branded SensiWiFi thermostats in the U.S. (in addition, about 15,000 were sold in Canada).

The company has received eight reports of burn damage to the thermostat, involving minor property damage; however, no injuries have been reported. These thermostats were sold at Johnstone, Home Depot, and Golden State FC stores, and Heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment distributors nationwide from April 2014 through December 2016 for around $90-$150 each.

Recalled thermostats have model numbers 1F86U-42WF or UP500W with “Emerson” printed on the front and a date code from 1416 to 1536 on the back. The date code represents the manufacture date from the 16th week of 2014 through the 36th week of 2015.

Not sure if you have an affected thermostat? Contact the company at 888-847-8742 to determine if your unit is included in the recall and for instructions on repair and/or replacement.

    Ugh! This is making my so mad!! My makeup no 7 has also been recalled. It was a new formula that replaced the old formula I was using. It was called triple serum lift and luminate foundation. It caused me to have a severe chemical, (not allergic) reaction. It has permanently scarred my face and the company is extremely difficult to contact. Their customer line kicks you right over to Walgreens which has no ownership rights to the company. I saw today that target had pulled all of this specific one off the shelves, so I asked and they said it had been recalled 2 days ago and I know exactly the reason why! 😡
