Vitapur, Greenway and Polar Water Dispensers Recalled


Possible Risk for Fire and Shock

About 44,000 Countertop Water Dispensers made by Greenway Home Products are being recalled. The internal heating element could overheat and drop molten metal through ventilation openings in the water dispenser's base onto the countertop, posing a fire hazard. The internal heating element also poses a shock hazard to consumers who touch it through the vents.

To-date, Greenway has received one report of a fire involving the recalled countertop water dispenser outside the United States that resulted in property damage. No injuries have been reported.

The recalled countertop water dispensers include the following Vitapur, Greenway and Polar models. They dispense hot or cold water and use three or five gallon water bottles. The model name is printed on the front of the dispenser's base. Model and serial numbers are printed on a white label on the back of the dispenser's base. File number 218326 is printed on a silver sticker on the back of the dispenser's base.

The water dispensers were sold at discount retailers nationwide from June 2006 to November 2007 for between $70 and $80.
