Aroeve MK04 air purifiers were recalled after reports of overheating and fire. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall on February 9, 2026, and the recall has not been reannounced, expanded, or terminated. Airova, Inc. imported the purifiers, which were manufactured in China. About 191,390 units are affected: model MK04, serial numbers beginning “BN,” manufactured before June 30, 2025.

Airova is offering registered owners a free replacement unit through its online recall request form or by email.

Latest Aroeve Air Purifiers Recall Updates

February 9, 2026: CPSC Announces Aroeve Air Purifier Recall

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled about 191,390 Aroeve MK04 air purifiers on February 9, 2026. The agency cited a risk of overheating that could lead to fire and burns. Overheating reports, detailed below, had already reached Airova by the time of the announcement, Fox Business said [1]. The company began offering owners a free replacement, with no injuries recorded.

Which Aroeve Air Purifiers Are Affected?

The recall covers Aroeve MK04 air purifiers that meet all three of the following conditions:

• Model number MK04, sold in black or white, found on the label on the bottom of the unit
• Manufactured on or before June 30, 2025, shown by the date code on the same label
• Serial number beginning with the letters “BN,” printed on the bottom label as well

The recalled purifiers were sold online at Amazon.com, Shopify.com, TEMU.com, and TikTok.com. They were sold between September 2024 and June 2025, for between $80 and $134. About 191,390 units are affected in the United States. Purifiers manufactured after June 30, 2025, are not part of this recall and do not need to be returned. Owners unsure whether their unit qualifies can compare it against the three conditions above, using the label details, before contacting Airova.

Why Were the Aroeve Air Purifiers Recalled?

The Aroeve MK04 air purifiers overheat and can ignite, which is why they were recalled for fire and burn hazards to consumers. VacuumWars, an independent consumer-technology outlet, reported the same overheating pattern before the CPSC’s official notice was posted. That account is consistent with the agency’s findings [2]. That pattern is the one addressed in Reported Incidents: repeated overheating, including the fire report, with no confirmed injury tied to any single case. Airova is providing a free replacement for every unit that meets the recall’s three eligibility conditions. Eligibility is confirmed by the identifying details on the unit’s own label, regardless of how it was used.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

Airova has received 37 reports of the air purifiers overheating, including one that involved a fire. The company has not received any reports of injuries or property damage connected to the recalled Aroeve MK04 air purifiers as of this announcement. These figures appear in the official recall notice, recall number 26-244, that the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued on February 9, 2026. A report of overheating does not by itself confirm what caused it. Those figures come from the same Fox Business report that first detailed the recall. They had not changed by the time the recall was officially announced to the public.

What Should Consumers Do?

Owners of an affected Aroeve MK04 air purifier, confirmed against the recall’s three eligibility conditions, should take the following steps:

1. Stop using the recalled Aroeve MK04 air purifier immediately
2. Check the model number, date code, and serial number printed on the product label on the bottom of the unit. These details confirm it is included in the recall
3. Submit the online product replacement request form at aroeve.com to receive a free replacement unit from Airova
4. Contact Airova by email at Aroeve-airpure-recall@outlook.com with questions about the replacement process or your unit’s eligibility
5. Report any additional overheating problems to Airova using the contact information above

Legal Options

No injury or product-liability lawsuit tied to the fire and burn hazard has been verified, as noted above. A recall does not automatically establish liability or eligibility for compensation. A separate, unrelated federal case, Schwartz v. Antadi LLC (No. 1:24-cv-09898), alleges Aroeve air purifiers were falsely advertised as HEPA-compliant. The case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on December 23, 2024 [3]. It has not settled as of the last available report, dated January 2025. Anyone weighing a different product liability claim should speak with a lawyer directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I Need a Receipt to Get the Free Replacement?

No, a receipt is not required for the free replacement. Aroeve verifies eligibility instead, using the model number, serial prefix, and date code printed on the unit’s own bottom label. These are the same details listed above.

Are Aroeve Air Purifiers Sold Outside the United States Included in This Recall?

No, air purifiers sold in Europe are not included in the Aroeve MK04 recall. Aroeve tested European-distributed batches separately. That testing confirmed the units meet applicable safety standards, so only units sold in the United States are covered.

Are Any Aroeve Models Other than MK04 Included in the Recall?

No other Aroeve models besides MK04 are included in this recall. Aroeve’s notice states no other models are affected, so purifiers with a different model number are excluded, even if they look similar.

Who Imported the Recalled Aroeve Air Purifiers?

Airova, Inc., based in Newark, California, imported the recalled Aroeve MK04 air purifiers sold in the United States. The purifiers themselves were manufactured in China before Airova imported them for sale.

Do I Need to Do Anything Besides Requesting a Replacement?

Beyond requesting the free replacement, owners do not need to take any other action for this recall. Simply stop using the affected unit and follow the return or disposal steps provided once the replacement request is submitted.

Which Aroeve Models Are Named in the Separate HEPA Filtration Lawsuit?

The Aroeve models named in the separate HEPA filtration lawsuit are the MK01, MK04, and MK06 air purifiers. That lawsuit alleges each model was falsely advertised as meeting HEPA H13 filtration standards, covering more models than the fire-hazard recall.
