(undated) – Home Depot announced that more than 190,000 ceiling fans are being recalled after reports that the blades fell off while spinning, hitting people, and causing property damage.

The Hampton Bay Mara indoor and outdoor ceiling fans were sold this year between April and October at Home Depot stores and its website. About 182,000 of them were sold in the U.S.  The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) said it received 47 reports of the blades falling off, with two reports of people being hit by them and four people reporting property damage.

According to the CPSC, owners of the fans should stop using them immediately and inspect the blades to see if they are secure or have a gap between them and the base of the fan.

The fan maker King of Fans, said that they will replace any of the faulty ceiling fans for free.
