OdorStop LLC has issued a recall for approximately 13,000 boot and shoe dryers and deodorizers due to a potential fire hazard. The affected models, OSOBSDD2 and OSOBSDD, have been found to have a defect in the heat or ozone on-off switch, which can short circuit and cause arcing. While no incidents or injuries have been reported, the company is urging consumers to stop using the products immediately.

The recalled products are designed to dry and deodorize footwear using high-output fans and a three-hour timer. Consumers can identify the affected units by locating the model number and OdorStop branding on a label at the bottom of the product. The items were sold online through retailers including Amazon, OdorStop’s website, Lowe’s, Global Industrial, and WebstaurantStore from December 2018 to October 2023, with prices ranging from $100 to $130.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
OdorStop is offering a free repair to consumers. Those with the recalled units should register for the recall at www.OdorStop.com/recall to receive instructions and a prepaid return label. The company will install a new in-line fuse before returning the product. Customers can also contact OdorStop by phone at 800-414-2191 or via email at support@odorstop.com for further assistance.
The recalled boot and shoe dryers were manufactured in China and imported by OdorStop LLC, based in Hamburg, New York.
