Aroeve Air Purifiers Sold on Amazon, TikTok Recalled After Dozens of Overheating Reports: CPSC

Recalled air purifiers add to a growing list of household products sold through Amazon and other major retailers that have been linked to fire hazards and serious burn injuries.

Federal safety officials are warning consumers to immediately stop using certain Aroeve air purifiers, following reports that the products may overheat and start a fire.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the Aroeve air purifier recall on February 9, following at least 37 reports of the products overheating, including one fire incident. 

Aroeve air purifiers are portable household appliances designed to improve indoor air quality by drawing air through internal filters that capture dust, pollen, pet dander, smoke particles and other airborne contaminants. 

They are commonly used in bedrooms, living rooms and offices, often running continuously throughout the day or overnight, particularly in homes where occupants suffer from allergies, asthma or other respiratory conditions.

However, officials warn that a manufacturing defect may cause certain units to overheat during normal use, creating a fire hazard that increases the risk of burn injuries and property damage.

The Aroeve air purifier recall impacts approximately 191,390 model MK04 air purifiers that were manufactured in China and imported by Airova Inc. of Newark, California, where they were sold online through Amazon, Shopify, TEMU and TikTok from September 2024 through June 2025. The devices were listed for sale between $80 and $134.

These air purifiers are black or white, with the model, date code and serial number printed on the product label on the bottom. Affected products were manufactured before July 2025 and have a serial number beginning with “BN.”

Consumers are being advised to immediately stop using the recalled devices and contact the importer, Airova, for a free replacement.

Fire Hazards Linked to Popular Products Sold on Amazon

The Aroeve recall is part of a growing pattern involving household products sold through Amazon and other major retailers that have been linked to fires and serious burn injuries. Several of these products are now the subject of product liability lawsuits alleging defective designs and inadequate safety warnings.

Federal regulators have issued warnings about battery-powered heated insoles and foot warmers designed to be placed directly inside shoes for warmth. In July and September 2025, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission urged consumers to stop using certain iHeat and Tajarly brand heated insoles after determining their lithium-ion batteries could overheat, ignite or explode, resulting in serious burn injuries requiring debridement surgeries. 

Following the warnings, a series of heated insole burn injury lawsuits have been filed in federal court, alleging the products lacked adequate thermal controls and placed heat-generating components against the foot, resulting in severe burns and fires during normal use. Some complaints further allege the products continued to be sold online despite reported safety risks.

At the same time, a wave of personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits have been filed over the allegedly defective designs of popular alcohol-fueled tabletop fire pits marketed as decorative indoor and patio features. 

Plaintiffs in many of the tabletop fire pit lawsuits claim certain models can cause flame jetting, flash fires or sudden explosions, particularly during refueling. Victims have reported second- and third-degree burns, permanent scarring and even fatalities.

Together, these cases highlight a growing concern about imported consumer products, often sold through large online marketplaces where manufacturing oversight, safety testing and regulatory compliance may be limited.
