So if the risk is small, we should ignore it? Besides, this heater produces fumes that are harmful to the environment and toxic to humans. I think that's reason enough to replace it.

I know it is great device but I would recommend you to stop using it. Kerosene fumes are dangerous and can cause cancer.

If there is not enough oxygen in the room, the heater starts to produce CO:

Every year, at least 420 people die in the U.S. from accidental CO poisoning. More than 100,000 people in the U.S. visit the emergency department each year due to accidental CO poisoning..
