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. In CPSC recall notice 26-244, the agency cited a risk of overheating that could lead to fire and burns [1].
Which Aroeve Air Purifiers Are Affected?
The recall covers Aroeve brand MK04 air purifiers, sold in black or white, that meet all three of these conditions:
- Manufactured on or before June 30, 2025
- Serial number beginning with the letters “BN”
- Purchased in the United States between September 1, 2024 and June 30, 2025
Fox Business reported that the purifiers were sold for between $80 and $134, and that the recall covers units sold online [2].
Why Were the Aroeve Air Purifiers Recalled?
The recall happened because the MK04 units can overheat and ignite. That poses fire and burn hazards to consumers, according to the CPSC notice as reported by USA Today [3].
Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses
The recall notice reports that Airova received 37 reports of the air purifiers overheating, including one report of a fire. No injuries or property damage have been reported. A report of overheating does not prove what caused it.
What Should Consumers Do?
Owners of an affected Aroeve MK04 air purifier should take these steps:
- Stop using the recalled Aroeve MK04 air purifier right away
- Check the model number, date code, and serial number on the label on the bottom of the unit
- Fill out the online product replacement request form at aroeve.com to get a free replacement unit from Airova
- Email Airova at Aroeve-airpure-recall@outlook.com with questions about the replacement
Legal Options
As of October 2026, no injury or product-liability lawsuit over the fire and burn hazard has been reported. A recall does not automatically establish liability or eligibility for compensation.
A separate, unrelated proposed class action, Schwartz v. Antadi LLC (No. 1:24-cv-09898), alleges Aroeve air purifiers were falsely advertised as HEPA-compliant.
The case was filed on December 23, 2024, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Anyone weighing a different product liability claim should speak with a lawyer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I Need a Receipt to Get the Free Replacement?
Aroeve’s recall page does not mention a receipt or proof of purchase for the free replacement. It lists three eligibility conditions instead: manufacture date, serial number prefix, and purchase window.
Are Aroeve Air Purifiers Sold in Europe Included in This Recall?
No, Aroeve air purifiers sold in Europe are not included in this recall. Units distributed in Europe are not affected, and testing of the European batches confirmed compliance with applicable safety standards, according to Aroeve’s recall page.
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 from the free replacement offer.
Is the HEPA Case Part of the Aroeve Air Purifier Recall Lawsuit?
No, the HEPA case is not part of the Aroeve air purifier recall. The separate HEPA filtration lawsuit names the MK01, MK04, and MK06 air purifiers and alleges each was falsely advertised as meeting HEPA H13 filtration standards.
