SINGAPORE – More than 500 units of ceiling fans from 17 models by Elmark Marketing could pose safety problems such as potentially falling, electrocuting someone or causing a fire, product safety agency, Enterprise Singapore, said on Monday (Dec 23).
Fan blades could also come loose when in use and cause cuts.
No reports of injuries have been made.
All the affected models did not meet safety standards and Enterprise Singapore said it was alerted after an Elmark fan blade broke when in use. This prompted further checks.
Elmark is recalling the 17 fan models and has posted a notice on its website to inform customers that they can trade in an affected model for a $150 voucher.
It said the 17 models were unregistered and sold without a valid safety mark as required for controlled goods under the Consumer Protection Regulations.
“These (17) models were not tested to safety standards in accordance with the Consumer Protection (Safety Requirements) Regulations by Enterprise Singapore,” it said.
Elmark’s website says the company – which was established in 1988 – distributes ceiling fans in Singapore and Malaysia.
