Blower Fans Recalled Due to Fire Hazard

Fire-related property damage has totalled $75,000

By HFT Editorial Staff


Intertex has recalled nearly 35,000 blower fans or air movers. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the capacitor in the blower fans can overheat, posing a fire hazard. Owners should immediately stop using the recalled blower fans and contact the firm for a free repair kit including an S-3 capacitor and installation instructions. 

Already, there have been five confirmed cases of the capacitor overheating in the blower fans and causing fire-related property damage totaling about $75,000. No injuries have been reported. 

The recalled B-Air VP-33 Blower Fans are used for commercial use for remediation. The recalled models were manufactured before January 1, 2018, and sold in blue, red or green in a neon yellow-colored box. The B-Air logo is on the vent and on the product label.
