CPSC, Vaxcel International Co. Ltd. Announce Recall of Ceiling Fan

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The hazard

About 80 of these units were improperly assembled with a metal sleeve that could cause exposed wiring. If this occurs, consumers are at an increased risk of receiving an electrical shock during installation or removal.

What to do

Consumers should contact Vaxcel to determine if their unit is defective. A free replacement ceiling fan will be provided to consumers with defective units. To avoid the risk of shock while removing a recalled fan, consumers are encouraged to use a professional electrician. Vaxcel will reimburse consumers up to $75 for charges incurred in removing recalled fans.
