King of Fans, a Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based company that makes the 54-inch Mara ceiling fans, announced the recall on Wednesday after receiving 47 reports of blades detaching, according to a statement from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission. The fans had been sold at Home Depot stores nationwide.Two of those reports indicated a detached fan blade hit someone, the commission said. Four reports said a blade caused property damage.

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission said the recall applies to the company’s Mara ceiling fans with matte white, matte black, black and polished nickel finishes. The commission instructed consumers who have purchased these items to “immediately stop” using them and contact the company for a replacement.
The CPSC said the recalled ceiling fans cost about $150 and labelled HAMPTON BAY.
These fans were sold exclusively at US Home Depot stores between April and October of 2020.
