More than 280,000 indoor ceiling fans sold at Lowe’s are being recalled because the glass globe may disconnect and fall.
The Harbor Breeze Kingsbury fans, manufactured before December 2018, have a bronze finish and five reversible blades with a 70-inch span, a frosted glass light and a remote control.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the company, HKC-US, has received 76 reports of falling globes, four of which resulted in an injury due to broken glass.
New installation instructions, however, are available to help consumers correct the issue, the company said.
The fans were sold at Lowe’s stores nationwide and on the store’s website from April 2010 through December of 2018 for about $230, the commission stated.
Consumers are encouraged to contact HKC-US to request a new owner’s manual and light kit label to help ensure correct installation of the light globe.
Contact the company toll-free at 877-239-7267 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CDT Monday through Friday; via email at HKCRecall@hkcus.com; or online at www.hkcfans.com for more information.
