Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Kichler Lighting LLC is recalling approximately 38,900 52-inch LED indoor ceiling fans sold in the United States, with an additional 3,160 units sold in Canada. The recalled fans feature five blades, bronze accents, etched umber glass, an integrated LED module, and a Mediterranean Walnut finish. The model number 35153 is printed on the top of the fan's motor housing.

The recall is due to a hazard where the iron arms that hold the ceiling fan blades can detach during use, causing the blades to fall. Kichler has received about 62 reports of the fan blade iron breaking or detaching, along with one report of property damage. No injuries have been reported.

The fans were sold at Lowe's and other lighting specialty stores nationwide and online at www.lowes.com from January 2016 through March 2020 for about $250. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ceiling fans and contact Kichler Lighting toll-free at 866-558-5706 from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit www.kichler.com and click on “Safety Information” at the bottom of the page to receive instructions for a free replacement ceiling fan.
