An urgent recall has been issued for a ceiling fan sold on Amazon due to safety concerns regarding the risk of electric shock. The A-Faction856 Ceiling Fan, manufactured in China, should not be used as it fails to meet safety standards. Product codes for the affected item are FBA15JYLVF9HU000040 and X0027BDFWD.
The Office for Product Safety and Standards has highlighted the potential danger posed by the fan, citing inadequate insulation and insufficient distance between circuits. The faulty insulation could deteriorate over time, potentially exposing live wires and leading to electric shock incidents. This non-compliance with safety regulations poses a significant risk to consumers.
If you have purchased this ceiling fan, it is advised to contact Amazon to explore refund options. This recall follows a previous safety alert involving Citroen C3 and related DS3 models, prompted by concerns over defective Takata airbag systems in specific vehicle models.
Another safety recall involves approximately 60,000 Tower air fryers in the Republic of Ireland, where consumers are urged to discontinue use over fire risks. The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) issued the warning after identifying a manufacturing flaw in certain models of Tower air fryers.
Although no incidents have been reported in Ireland, there have been cases in the UK of these air fryers catching fire. The affected models were produced between 2020 and 2024 and sold through various retailers, including Argos, Tesco Ireland, DID, Dealz, Lidl, and Amazon.
Consumers with the affected Tower air fryers are advised to immediately cease use, unplug the appliance, and contact Tower Housewares for further instructions. The CCPC offers a national consumer helpline and email support for any queries or concerns regarding the air fryer recall.
