This is because the rechargeable battery might 'spontaneously catch fire' while charging or during normal use. The UK Government is urging anyone who bought the electrical appliance sold by Amazon, eBay, Temu, B&Q, Debenhams, The Range, and TikTok shop to stop using the product immediately. A Range spokesperson said: "The rechargeable batteries inside the product can spontaneously catch fire in operation, during charging or even in standby mode. "If you have purchased or been given one of these Valiant Radiator Fans, please stop using it immediately, and remove to an outdoor location, when possible have it taken to a local recycling centre. "Do not place in general rubbish or domestic recycling bins as it can cause a major fire risk."
