Lasko Recalls 4.8 Million Box Fans Due To Fire Hazard

Washington, DC: Lasko Products is recalling about 4.8 million box fans because an electrical failure in the fan's motor poses a fire hazard to consumers.

This recall involves Lasko box fans with model numbers 3720, 3723, and 3733 and Galaxy box fans with model number 4733 that have date "2002-03" or "2003-04" stamped on the bottom of the metal frame. "Lasko" or "Galaxy" is printed on the front of the fan. The model number is either stamped or printed on the bottom of the fans.

The box fans were sold at mass merchandisers nationwide from July 2002 through December 2005 for between $12 and $25.
