Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20190526-75B8C-2147380758. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: Aerospeed Aerospeed Air Circulator model AC100 (Tiltable floor/table three speed electric portable plastic circulator fan with an easily removable fan blade guard for cleaning.). Incident: I purchased an Aerospeed Air Circulator 20 inch portable tilt fan model AC100 from Dollar General [REDACTED], Pa. 17019-1212 in 2018 for the price of $40. I was using it in my residence [REDACTED] on May 26, 2019 to cool my third floor apartment. I had the fan on a table top in front of the window to draw air in when a slight breeze blew the fan over causing the fan blade guard to easily pop off and the rotating fan blade to come in contact with the table top which sheared off a blade causing to fly into the room. The fan is poorly designed and constructed out of top heavy bottom light weight shoddy plastic which causes the fan to be unstable and fall over which cause the fan to break and cause injury or fall into furniture over heat and cause a fire and the blade guard alone popping off easily could expose children's fingers to the rotating fan blade resulting in a serious injury.
