Casablanca Fan Company of Memphis, Tenn., is recalling about 30,000 Casablanca ceiling fans.
The fan motor and attached blades can separate from the adapter when operating in reverse updraft mode, causing the fan motor and blades to fall, posing an injury hazard.

Affected models have a gold label on top of the motor housing that includes “Casablanca” and a model number. Some Casablanca models also have the Casablanca logo on the switch housing or on the end of the pull chain.
The production date code is a four digit code on top of the motor housing near the center down rod. Fans with a Cat. No. “A01”, the last two digits of the four digit date code ending in “13” or “14” and no green dot on top of the motor housing are included in the recall.
