The Office for Product Safety and Standards published a recall of the Valiant Radiator Fan on 7 November 2025, under notification number 2510-0238, notified by Local Authority Trading Standards1. The product was sold through Amazon, eBay, Temu, B&Q, Debenhams, The Range and TikTok Shop1. The recall covers units with part code FIR046 and barcode 5061026620844, in batches 967, 968 and 970, which are printed on the packaging next to the barcode and on the label on the base of the product1. The fan is described as a white rechargeable radiator fan with a black settings control screen, made in China1.
The hazard is fire. The notice states that the internal Li-ion Polymer battery may fail during charging or whilst in standby mode, and that if the product is charged or left unattended in standby mode, a fault may occur leading to thermal runaway and the product catching fire1. The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 20051.
"The manufacturer advises owners to stop using the product immediately and move it to an outdoor location."
The corrective action is a recall from end users1. Owners are advised to dispose of the product safely via their local household waste disposal site, checking first with the local centre whether it accepts this type of battery1. Once the product has been disposed of, confirmation should be emailed to Accessory Outlet Ltd at customerservice@accessoryoutlet.co.uk for a full refund1.

Why it matters for households
A radiator fan is used to push warm air away from a radiator and around a room, so it sits close to a heat source and is often left running or plugged in for long periods. This recall concerns the battery rather than the radiator itself: the risk arises during charging or while the unit is in standby, which is when a device is typically left unattended. Thermal runaway in a lithium-ion polymer battery is a fire that can spread from the battery to surrounding materials, so a fan stored in a hallway, bedroom or beside furniture carries a risk beyond the unit itself.
For a household, the practical effect is that a device bought to improve comfort from an existing heating system has become a fire risk that has to be removed and disposed of separately from normal waste. The recall also affects how a home's backup power and battery-containing equipment is treated: rechargeable devices kept indoors need to be identifiable by batch and barcode so that a recall notice can be matched to the unit in the home. Guidance on identifying and disposing of affected batteries is set out in the site's lithium battery safety and recalls guide, and this notice sits alongside other home energy product recalls and safety notices.
