Fanimation Recalls Brewmaster Ceiling Fans Due to Risk of Injury

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Fanimation is recalling approximately 9,300 Brewmaster belt-driven ceiling fans because the fan hub that holds the blades can detach and fall while operating in reverse. The firm has received two reports of the fan hub falling, although no injuries have been reported. These fans were sold in antique brass, pewter, and black finishes with either short (15-inch) or long (26-inch) neck assemblies between June 2002 and December 2014. Consumers should immediately stop using the fans and contact the manufacturer for a free repair kit.

Risk

When the fan is operated in reverse, the hub holding the blades can separate from the drive shaft. This causes the heavy hub and blades to fall from the ceiling, posing a serious impact injury risk to anyone standing below.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using the recalled Brewmaster ceiling fans and do not operate them, especially in reverse mode.
  2. Identify your fan by checking the packaging for model numbers FP10AB, FP10AC, FP10BL, FP10PW, FP20AB, FP20AC, FP20BL, or FP20PW.
  3. Check the face plate on the lower part of the fan's head assembly to see if it contains the text 'THE BREWMASTER by FANIMATION'.
  4. Contact Fanimation to receive a free retention collar repair kit at (888) 250-6458 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or by email at recall@fanimation.com.
