The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced Wednesday that more than 255,000 Vornado tower heaters sold at Costco have been recalled due to reports of house fires.

The recall affects Vornado tower heaters that were sold at Costco locations for multiple years. The Consumer Product Safety Commission issued the recall notice after receiving reports that the heaters had caused residential fires.

Separately, Costco has announced price reductions on four of its private-label products spanning food, home goods and sports equipment categories. The retailer implemented the price cuts as inflation continues to impact consumer spending.

The price reductions represent Costco's effort to maintain customer loyalty during a period of elevated costs across various product categories. The warehouse retailer's private-label offerings typically provide lower-cost alternatives to national brand products.

Consumers who purchased the recalled Vornado heaters should stop using them immediately and contact the manufacturer or retailer for return instructions. The Consumer Product Safety Commission has not yet released specific details about the number of fire incidents or injuries associated with the recalled heaters.
