The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) warned consumers to immediately stop using over 13,000 Amana window air conditioners and through-the-wall units due to a serious risk of fire. According to CPSC, the problem stems from a heating element that can stay on and energized even when the air conditioner is supposed to be off. This can lead to the unit overheating, melting its plastic components and starting a fire.
