Summary

Intertex is recalling approximately 29,500 B-Air VP-33 blower fans sold in blue, red, and green. These 1/3 horsepower air movers were sold nationwide at Home Depot and Menard’s and online at Amazon.com from February 2013 through December 2017. The recall was issued because an internal capacitor can overheat and catch fire; owners should stop using the fans immediately and contact the company for a free repair kit.

Risk

The internal capacitor in the blower fans can overheat during operation, creating a fire hazard. Intertex has received five reports of these components overheating, resulting in approximately $75,000 in fire-related property damage.
