Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

    The product, in the report: Stand Fan

    I had a Stand Fan from Windchaser in my living room. I was upstairs and had the fan on in the living room when I heard a strange noise. I came down stairs to find all 4 blades from this fan had broke off the fan and were scattered around my living room. No one was in the living room when it happened to have done this.

    The product, in the report: Windchaser Oscillating Fan

    We purchased three of these fans from Walmart (may have been BJS Wholesale Club) about two years ago. Last night the fan in use during the middle of the night started sparking and actually started on fire! We took it outside and doused it with water. The plastic melted. The smell was awful and we are grateful that we woke up. While the motor was actually sending out flames, the fan continued to blow air -- could have been a disaster had we not woke up. The flames from the back motor were actually being fanned by the fan - flames coming out front!
