A.G. International Electric Ltd. expanded its consumer recall of a 20-inch standing fan, model S20-B, after the Standards Commissioner found the fan fails Israeli safety standards — unsecured internal wires pose immediate electrocution and short-circuit fire risk, according to an announcement carried by N12.
The Standards Commissioner's inspection found that the fan's internal power wires are not secured as required, creating a risk of immediate electrocution. The power cables are also improperly fastened, which may expose live wires and cause a short circuit and fire. A.G. International Electric Ltd. is urging the public to immediately stop using the product, which was imported and marketed by the company. As The Zioneer reported at 12:04, an initial recall notice had been issued; the current announcement adds the regulator's specific findings. This is the second product recall flagged by the Standards Commissioner in two days, following a K88 wall charger recall on Wednesday for similar defects.
