Overview

  • The UK Office for Product Safety and Standards found the A-Faction856 fan has inadequate insulation and insufficient creepage and clearance distances, creating a high risk of electric shock.
  • On July 18, authorities ordered an urgent recall under the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016 and blocked further imports at the UK border.
  • Amazon UK has initiated the recall for products identified by codes FBA15JYLVF9HU000040 and X0027BDFWD and is arranging full refunds for customers.
  • Consumers are urged to stop using the ceiling fan immediately and contact Amazon UK’s customer service for return instructions.
  • The recall underlines growing regulatory scrutiny of low-cost imported electronics as record heatwaves drive surging demand for cooling appliances.
