01 · THE DISPATCH

The Ministry of Economy and Industry issued a formal recall notice this afternoon for a 20-inch standing fan model S20-B, imported from China, citing immediate electrocution and short-circuit fire risks. The announcement follows a recall by distributor A.G. International Electric Ltd. reported earlier today by The Zioneer. The ministry's move adds official regulatory weight to the consumer warning. According to the ministry's data, the recall is part of a broader pattern: 23 Chinese-made products across multiple categories—including baby gear, electrical chargers, and lighting—have been removed from Israeli shelves since the start of 2026 due to safety standard failures. The Standards Institution of Israel also flagged a related LED tube model and a wall charger in recent weeks.
