The Hazard
CLASS 1 WARNING: FIRE HAZARD
Living Glow portable waist fans are being recalled due to a fire hazard. The fan’s battery can overheat, melt, or catch fire. This poses a serious risk of burns and property damage to consumers.
The company has received four reports of the fans melting or catching fire.
Why This Happens: Technical Breakdown
The Living Glow portable waist fan contains a rechargeable battery. In some cases, these batteries can overheat during use or while charging. This overheating can lead to the plastic components of the fan melting. In more severe cases, the overheating can cause the battery to ignite, resulting in a fire.
The problem likely stems from a manufacturing defect or a design flaw that doesn’t adequately manage heat dissipation. Overcharging the battery or using an incompatible charger could also contribute to the problem. Regardless of the specific cause, the potential for fire makes it unsafe for consumers to continue using these fans.
