What was recalled

This recall involves Emerson "Corsair" model ceiling fans with two blades and 44- or 52-inch blade spans. The fans were sold in two finishes, oil-rubbed bronze and antique pewter.

Injuries

Emerson is aware of three reports of these Corsair fans falling from the ceiling. No injuries have been reported.
