BETHESDA, Md. — About 19,000 ceiling fans sold in the U.S. and Canada have been recalled because they pose an injury hazard.
King of Fans Hampton Bay 54-inch Mara ceiling fans were recalled by the manufacturer because blades can detach while in use.
The firm has received 47 reports of the blade detaching from the fan, including two reports of the fan blade hitting a consumer and four reports of the blade causing property damage.
The ceiling fans came with a white color-changing integrated LED light and a remote control and were sold exclusively at Home Depot for around $150.
Consumers should stop using the fans immediately and inspect them using instructions at the manufacturer’s website.
