Health Canada has recalled more than 5,000 Hampton Bay Mara ceiling fans after nearly 50 reports in the U.S. of the fan’s blades coming detached while spinning. The 54-inch Hampton Bay Mara indoor and outdoor ceiling fans were sold between April and October this year in Canada at Home Depot’s stores and online website. About 182,000 of the fans were sold in the U.S. and 5,091 were sold in Canada, according to the Government of Canada’s recall website. In an email to CNN, Home Depot confirmed that it sold about 80,000 of the fans in the U.S. before pulling them from stores. When they became aware of the issue, the retailer “voluntarily recalled the product and stopped sales.”The company said it will replace any of the faulty ceiling fans for free.
