The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with Delta Electronics (Dongguan) Co. Ltd, has announced the voluntary recall of Harbor Breeze Bath Fans with Heater and Light. These fans were sold at Lowe's stores nationwide and online lowes.com from September 2010 until March 2012.
The fan's heater blades may fail to rotate properly, which could cause the fan to overheat and pose a fire hazard. There have been 11 reports of the fan overheating with smoke or flames within the fan housing. There have been three reports of minor property damage.
This recall includes plastic Harbor Breeze bathroom fans with a center light and a heater. The fans are white and are roughly 11 x 17 inches in size.
Model number 7109-01-L, Lowe's item number 194492 and UPC code 820633985358 are printed on the fan's packaging. A date code beginning with either 0, 11, 12 or 13 is printed on the fan's housing, which indicates the fan was manufactured between August 2010 and March 2011.
Consumers should immediately stop using the fan. Delta Electronics Dongguan is offering to have the fan repaired, free of charge, by a trained electronics technician.
