  • Perhaps the last thing that people need to worry about after a year as tumultuous as 2020 is a ceiling fan blade flying across the room. However, a handful of consumers had dealt with that very problem beginning no earlier than April 2020. The New York Times and other news organizations reported on a ceiling fan recall that was issued two days before Christmas. On Dec. 23, King of Fans, Inc. announced the recall of the Hampton Bay 54-inch Mara Indoor/Outdoor Ceiling Fans product line. The recalled ceiling fans were sold exclusively by The Home Depot. The New York Times reported that there had been at least 47 consumer reports of the product dangerously malfunctioning: Recalled models of the ceiling fans sold at The Home Depot included the Matte White Ceiling Fans with Light and Remote Control (Model #51918), Matte Black Ceiling Fan with Light and Remote Control (Model #51919), Black Ceiling Fan with Light and Remote Control - Online Only (Model #59919), and Polished Nickel Ceiling Fan with Light and Remote Control - Online Only (Model #51918). Model #51913 was also mentioned in the recall, although King of Fans and The Home Depot did not include a description of the fan. On the King of Fans website, (which we noticed still used Adobe Flash Player), the company posted the following message: King of Fans also mentioned that the specific ceiling fan line that was recalled was sold exclusively at The Home Depot and online at www.homedepot.com from April 2020 through October 2020 for approximately $150. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, about 182,000 units were sold in the U.S., while an additional 8,800 were sold in Canada. (en)
