Westinghouse Lighting just recalled about 7,000 Ceiling Fans, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced.

The defective Westinghouse Lighting Ceiling Fans were manufactured in China; imported by Westinghouse Lighting Corp., of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and sold by home improvement and hardware stores, home centers, and electrical product suppliers, nationwide and online at www.amazon.com, from January 2011 through January 2012. The recalled Westinghouse Lighting Ceiling Fans sold for between $135 and $150 each.

The two 60-watt light bulbs included with the ceiling fans exceed the fan’s maximum wattage, which can cause the ceiling fans to overheat or fail. This poses fire and shock hazards to consumers. To date, no incidents or injuries have been reported.

Westinghouse Lighting Ceiling Fans with 24-, 30- and 42-inch diameter blades are included in this recall. “Westinghouse” is printed on the fan’s ceiling canopy. The item number is printed on the fan’s motor housing.

The recall includes the following defective Westinghouse Lighting Ceiling Fans; additional details can be accessed at the CPSC web site.

  • •Model 72243: 24-inch ceiling fan, gunmetal finish with opal-frosted light kit, 6 blades (black/graphite color).
  • •Model 78631: 24-inch ceiling fan, chrome finish with opal-frosted light kit, 6 blades (dark wood/beech color).

    When I signed up with the Victim's Compensation Fund ("VCF"), Parker Waichman ("PW") guided me through the entire process. Without their guidance I wouldn't have gotten through it. They do outstanding work and they care deeply for their clients. Tina Morace is pleasant, patient, and very professional. She held my hand through the process of getting all the documents together. Tina is a valuable employee at PW, I hope PW appreciates her as much as I do.

    Parker Waichman has been so much help with my case over the past few years. It has finally come to an end with a positive outcome. I would also like to thank Benita Rollis, who personally kept me up to date every step along the way. She was able to answer every question I had and always replied in a very timely and professional matter. I cant thank your firm enough. All I can say is thank you from me and my entire family.
