If you are keeping warm tonight with a portable heater from Walmart we have a recall to tell you about.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission is recalling over 150-thousand Chinese-made portable electric heaters.
According to the CPSC, the heaters made by Aloha Housewares were recalled because they can overheat.
