The fans were sold at Home Depot stores nationwide and online at homedepot.com from April through October for about $150. The manufacturer received 47 reports of the blade detaching from the fan, including two reports of the blade hitting a consumer and four reports of property damage, according to the commission.

King of Fans said the issue is caused by a manufacturing defect with the fan blade’s locking clip assembly. The affected Mara 54-inch ceiling fans have one of two screws not adequately secured to the flywheel that are holding the locking clip in place. This may cause the blade to detach from the fan during use, the company said.
The recall does not affect all Mara 54-inch fans, but those under recall should be replaced.
The following UPC numbers for the recalled ceiling fans are printed on a silver rating label on the top of the fan housing assembly:
