Israel's Ministry of Economy and Industry, through its Standards Administration, has issued a severe warning regarding two fan models that pose significant safety risks. The first is the MATRIX ceiling fan with a white pull cord, model MX-CF42-4CL-WH, barcode 6856741212158, manufactured in China. This fan, sold between April 2023 and April 2025 by brands like Bug and A.L.M., has a mechanical connection that is not strong enough. According to the Ministry, this defect could cause the fan to detach and fall during operation, potentially leading to serious injury. Consumers possessing this fan are urged to stop using it immediately and contact the importer, Saynet Lekat Ltd., for repair or replacement.
In parallel, Sahara Electronics Ltd. is recalling its black standing fan with a remote control, model B-SF2008R, barcode 7290117471111, manufactured by Bush Electronics in China. This model was sold between March and August 2025. An inspection revealed a defect in the internal wiring, which could result in a short circuit, overheating, ignition, or exposure of electrical parts, posing an electrocution risk. Customers with this fan are instructed to cease use and return it to the place of purchase for a refund, or contact Sahara Electronics for repair. Both recalls emphasize that the products do not meet Israeli Standard 900 requirements.
