More than 191,000 Aroeve air purifiers have been recalled in the United States after reports of overheating and one confirmed fire. Federal safety officials say the devices pose potential fire and burn hazards to consumers.
The recall, announced by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, affects 191,390 units of Aroeve-branded air purifiers sold nationwide. The action follows dozens of consumer complaints and underscores ongoing concerns about electrical safety in household appliances.
Air purifiers have become common fixtures in American homes, particularly in recent years as consumers seek to improve indoor air quality. The scale of this recall places it among the larger appliance-related safety actions of the past year, though no injuries or property damage have been reported.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the affected units can overheat and ignite, creating a fire hazard. Consumers are being urged to stop using the devices immediately and to contact the company for a replacement.
Overheating Incidents Prompt Nationwide Recall
The recall applies specifically to Aroeve model MK04 air purifiers manufactured before July 2025, with serial numbers beginning with “BN.” The units were sold in both black and white finishes.
According to the CPSC, Aroeve has received 37 reports of the air purifiers overheating. One of those incidents involved a fire. Despite these reports, regulators state that no injuries or property damage have been documented.
The agency’s recall notice states that “the air purifiers can overheat and ignite, posing fire and burn hazards to consumers.” That language reflects the standard threshold for action when a product presents a potential ignition risk, even in the absence of reported injuries.
The devices were sold online through Amazon.com, Shopify.com, TEMU.com, and TikTok.com from September 2024 through June 2025. According to the CPSC, retail prices ranged from $80 to $134, placing the units within the mid-range consumer market for portable air filtration systems.
Consumers Advised to Stop Use and Seek Replacement
Regulators are advising consumers to stop using the recalled air purifiers immediately. The CPSC states that affected customers should contact Airova, the firm associated with the recall process, to receive a free replacement.
The recall notice does not mention refunds, instead directing consumers toward replacement units. Owners are encouraged to verify the model number and serial number before contacting the company to confirm eligibility.
Product recalls of this type typically aim to remove potentially hazardous devices from circulation before further incidents occur. In this case, the combination of overheating complaints and a confirmed fire appears to have triggered the agency’s intervention.
According to the CPSC, no injuries or property damage have been reported thus far, a detail that may reassure some consumers. Even so, the commission’s guidance remains clear: discontinue use of the product until it has been replaced.
For households that rely on air purifiers for health or comfort reasons, the recall may cause temporary inconvenience. Still, federal regulators emphasize that mitigating fire risk takes precedence, and prompt action by consumers is expected to reduce the likelihood of further incidents.
