Product recall: desk fans

WASHINGTON, D.C.- The Morton Paper Co., of Brooklyn, N.Y., is voluntarily recalling about 4,500 desk fans.

The fans could overheat during use, and do not have sufficient guards to prevent possible finger entrapment. These fans present electrocution, shock, fire, and finger amputation hazards. No injuries have been reported.

The desk fan being recalled is a 16-inch PIONEER brand.

Consumers should stop using these fans immediately and return them to the store where purchased for a full refund. For information, call Morton Paper Co. collect at (718) 417-1717 between 6 a.m. and 2 p.m. Monday through Friday.
