The CPSC and Harbor Freight Tools are recalling Bauer Forced Air Propane Portable Heaters.  This heater may leak propane gas through a loose fitting on the back of the heater risking a fire and burns.  About 19,000 of these heaters were sold at Harbor Freight Tools stores nationwide and online at www.harborfreight.com.  If you ave one of these heaters, begin with the soapy water test to see if there is a leak.  You put some soap water on the back of the heater to see if it bubbles.  If so, contact Harbor Freight Tools at 1-800-444-3353 or via email at productcompliance@harborfreight.com to find out how to tighten the fittings with the wrench that came with the heater.
