Fact Check: 'Toasty Heater' Was NOT Invented By A Firefighter, A Veteran, Or An Army Officer -- It's A Marked-Up Chinese Wholesale Product

Did an upstate New York firefighter named David, along with his brother, a former NASA engineer, invent a safer, better and more energy efficient electric heater after David's daughter got carbon monoxide poisoning from a fire in her bedroom? No, that's not true: This detailed inventor's narrative, presented with the many high pressure sales tactics like special pricing and purported limited supply, is part of a sales pitch sell a cheap wholesale product for large markups with little to no accountability. The same product featured in several different sponsored ads from the same website features alternate narratives about a Vietnam veteran and an Army Special Forces officer, none verified. The unbranded heating unit can be found in wholesale marketplace listings for as little as $10.
