Builders Square said these ceiling fans are equipped with metal fan blade bracket holders which may break, allowing the blade to separate from the motor while the fan is in use. Builders Square, Inc. learned of these defective fans from seven customer complaints, involving one minor injury, which the firm reported to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. While some 27,000 ceiling fans were imported from China, only 10,200 fans were sold to consumers.
