A Florida company has recalled more than 190,000 ceiling fans sold at Home Depot because the fans’ blades can detach while in use.
King of Fans, based in Fort Lauderdale, which makes the 54-inch Hampton Bay Mara ceiling fans, announced the recall on Wednesday after receiving 47 reports of blades detaching, according to a statement from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
King of Fans said not all of its Mara ceiling fans are being recalled.
The CPSC said the recall applies to the company’s Mara ceiling fans with matte white, matte black, black and polished nickel finishes.
King of Fans said the ceiling fan malfunctions were caused by “an isolated manufacturing defect with the assembly of the fan blade’s locking clip to the fan flywheel.”CNN Newsource contributed to this report.
