Israel's Ministry of Economy and two import companies have issued urgent warnings for consumers to immediately stop using two models of electric fans due to safety hazards. One ceiling fan, the MATRIX model MX-CF42-4CL-WH, has a faulty mounting system that could cause it to fall during operation, posing a serious injury risk. This fan, manufactured in China, was sold between April 2023 and April 2025 and is available through major electronics retailers like Bug and A.L.M., as well as smaller shops. The importer, Sainet Lekket Ltd., stated that the fan does not meet Israeli Standard SI 900, Part 2.80, regarding mechanical fastening. Owners are advised to cease use and contact the importer for replacement or repair at their warehouse near the settlement of Shaqed in northern Samaria.
The second recalled product is a black floor fan with a remote control, model B-SF2008R, imported by Sahara Electronics Ltd. This fan, also made in China, was sold in Israel from March to August 2025. It has a wiring defect that could lead to short circuits, overheating, fire, and electric shock. Sahara Electronics stated the fan fails to meet Israeli Standard SI 900, Parts 1 and 2.80, due to internal wiring issues. Consumers are urged to stop using this fan and return it to the point of purchase for a refund or contact the importer for repair. Further information can be obtained from Sahara Electronics in Tel Aviv.
