Plain-English summary

Casablanca Fan Company is recalling about 30,000 ceiling fans manufactured in 2013 and 2014. The recall involves 43 specific models, including styles such as Alessandria, Aris, Bel Air, Bullet, Caneel Bay, Heritage, Isotope, Riello, Stealth, Tercera, Trident, Whitman, and Zudio. Affected fans have a gold label on the motor housing with a model number and a production date code ending in "13" or "14" with a factory code of "A01" and no green dot on the motor housing.

The hazard exists because the fan motor and attached blades can separate from the adapter when the fan is operating in reverse updraft mode. This separation causes the motor and blades to fall, posing an injury hazard. Casablanca has received eight reports of the fan motor and blades falling, including one report of minor injury and one report of minor property damage.

These fans were sold at lighting store showrooms nationwide and major home improvement online retailers from January 2013 through December 2014 for between $350 and $620. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ceiling fans and contact Casablanca for a free in-home inspection and repair. Consumers can reach Casablanca toll-free at 855-800-3789 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or online at www.casablancafanco.com.
