Plain-English summary

Builders Square, Inc. is voluntarily recalling approximately 10,200 52-inch "Bay Breeze" ceiling fans sold between October 1989 and May 7, 1990. The recall involves eight specific models, including the TC52BC5B(L), CH52GB4B(L), GL52WH5B (L), GL52BK5B (L), 52DUV4SPBB, 52DUV/CR, 52DUV3PVWH, and 52DUV3PVBLK. These fans were sold for prices ranging from $79 to $84.

The recall is being issued because the metal fan blade bracket holders on these units may break, allowing the rotating blades to separate from the motor assembly while the fan is in use. This defect creates a risk of laceration. Builders Square identified the issue after receiving seven customer complaints, which included one report of a minor injury.

Consumers who own any of the affected "Bay Breeze" ceiling fans should discontinue use immediately. To obtain a refund of the purchase price, consumers should return the fan to any Builders Square store or call the company toll-free at 1-800-634-5949 for additional information.
