Visual Comfort Maverick Coastal Outdoor Ceiling Fans Impact Injury Recall

Visual Comfort & Co. is recalling Maverick Coastal 60-inch outdoor ceiling fans because the blades can crack or break and fall, posing an impact injury hazard. The manufacturer has received nine reports of blade failure but no injuries or property damage so far.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The source explicitly states that nine blade failures have been reported but no injuries or property damage have occurred, making the hazard theoretical rather than realized. This precautionary recall with reported failure events but no harm meets the Moderate threshold.
