A friend sent me an email circular about some of these plug in air fresheners being linked to house fires.

Does anyone know if this is true, or is it just another of those scare stories?

The story has some substance Richard.

In the latter half of 2005, a major manufacturer withdrew their stock of one particular type and advertised for free return & replacement in all the major stores.

Here is the original recall from SC Johnson as published by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). It mentions risk of fire, but no experience loss.
