Nearly 600,000 GoveeLife and Govee smart electric space heaters sold online by retailers including Amazon and TikTok Shop are being recalled because they can overheat, posing fire and burn hazards, federal safety officials said Thursday.

The recall follows 113 reports of the made-in-China products overheating, including seven fires and one minor burn injury, according to a notice posted by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Federal Reserve cuts interest rate for second time in 2024

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said he won’t step down if President-elect Donald Trump, who has previously criticized Powell’s performance, asks him to resign. 

Speaking at a press conference Thursday to discuss the Fed’s move today to cut its benchmark interest rate by 0.25 percentage points, Powell added that it is not permitted under the law for presidents to fire or demote the Fed chair. 

During the event, Powell generally avoided answering media questions about the Nov. 5 election, in which Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris.

“I’m not going to get into the political things here today,” Powell said in response to a question from CBS News’ Kelly O’Grady. 

Trump nominated Powell to lead the Fed in 2017. Powell’s term as Fed chair ends May 15, 2026.
