Description
March 5, 1992 Release # 92-059 WASHINGTON, DC -- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), NuTone, Inc. of Cincinnati, OH, is announcing a voluntary corrective action plan to replace the die cast socket hangers on approximately 310,000 "NuTone" brand paddle fans. The paddle fans involved have a ball and die cast socket ceiling-mounted device. In some cases the die cast mounting bracket may crack, allowing the fan to fall. The fans were manufactured from the Spring of 1983 through the Fall of 1984. They may include the Verandah, Hacienda, Sea Island, Decorator, and Slimline model 36" and 52" fans. The paddle fans sold nationwide through NuTone Electrical Distributors. The CPSC was informed of these potentially unsafe fans by NuTone, Inc., which discovered the problem after receiving a broken socket hanger from a NuTone service station. NuTone reported five incidents of the die cast socket hanger breaking. No injuries were reported. Consumers with the paddle fans are urged to discontinue use. Consumers should not attempt to disconnect or dismantle the fans themselves. NuTone will replace the die cast socket with a sheet metal bracket, free of charge.…
