Public Security: Anyone who owns a `Shamousa` heater must stop using it immediately.

The media spokesperson for the Public Security Directorate called on all citizens who own the commonly known heater, known as the "Shamousa," and all its types, to stop using it immediately and not to light it inside homes under any circumstances.

The media spokesperson stressed that this warning was taken very seriously after it was proven that the cases of suffocation that occurred during the past 24 hours shared the same type of heater.

He also confirmed that the relevant authorities are examining samples of all types of these heaters and the results will be announced as soon as they are completed.

He explained that the joint teams have begun to inventory these heaters inside shops and factories that manufacture them in order to prevent their sale until laboratory results are obtained.
