Fanim Industries is recalling about 70,000 Harbor Breeze Santa Ana ceiling fans because the blade arm holders can break, causing the fan blades to detach and fly off while in use. There have been 210 reports of blades breaking or ejecting, including 10 reports of blades actually hitting people. The 48-inch fans feature two dark walnut blades, brushed nickel hardware, and a frosted glass light globe. These fans were sold exclusively at Lowe's stores and online from May 2014 through January 2016 for approximately $150. Consumers should contact the firm for free replacement blade holders.
The metal holders that secure the fan blades can fatigue and snap during operation, allowing a heavy blade to be thrown from the fan. This creates a significant risk of impact injuries to anyone in the room, as evidenced by multiple reports of consumers being struck.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ceiling fan and contact the firm for a free set of replacement blade holders.
