IcyBreeze Cooling Portable Misting Fans recall: Fire Hazard

Recall published 1+ years ago

Fire Hazard

IcyBreeze Cooling Consumer products — recalled consumer products
Photo published by U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission with the recall notice.

The hazard: Fire or burn hazard

The hazard here is thermal: the product can get hot enough to ignite what is around it, or to burn whoever is holding it.

What the notice says: The misting fan can overheat while charging and ignite, posing a fire hazard.

Why it matters: The product can overheat, ignite or cause a burn. Where lithium batteries are involved the failure is fast and very hot, and water does not put it out quickly.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

Treat a burn by cooling it under running water for about 20 minutes — not with ice, butter or ointment — and cover it loosely with a clean non-fluffy cloth. Get medical help for burns that are larger than the person’s palm, that are deep or white or charred, that involve the face, hands, feet or genitals, or any burn to a baby or young child. If someone has inhaled smoke and is coughing, hoarse or short of breath, call 911.

Products covered by this recall

This recall involves the IcyBreeze Buddy, a portable, battery-operated misting fan. The portable fan is equipped with a 1.5-liter water tank for continuous misting and allows consumers to choose between AC power or the 10,000 mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery for up to 7 hours of outdoor use. The misting fan displays "ICYBREEZE" on both the fan and the base of the product and comes in slate blue, gray, and seafoam. Note: Do not throw this recalled lithium-ion battery or device in the trash, the general recycling stream (e.g., street-level or curbside recycling bins), or used battery recycling boxes found at various retail and home improvement stores. Recalled lithium-ion batteries must be disposed of differently than other batteries, because they present a greater risk of fire. Your municipal household hazardous waste (HHW) collection center may accept this recalled lithium-ion battery or device for disposal. Before taking your battery or device to a HHW collection center, contact that office ahead of time and ask whether it accepts recalled lithium-ion batteries. If it does not, contact your municipality for further guidance.

What to do about Fire

IcyBreeze Cooling — The hazard here is thermal: the product can get hot enough to ignite what is around it, or to burn whoever is holding it.

  1. Stop using it and unplug it from the wall. If it runs on a battery pack, stop charging it.
  2. Do not leave it charging overnight or while the house is empty while you wait for the remedy.
  3. If it has already overheated, scorched or swelled, do not keep using it and do not try to repair it.
  4. Check that your smoke alarms work while you are thinking about it, and follow the remedy on this page.

If the claim stalls

Most recall claims are paid without argument. The ones that stall usually stall for a reason you can fix.

  • Check you used the recall channel rather than ordinary customer support — the two queues rarely talk to each other.
  • Send the photos they asked for in the format they asked for. A missing date code is the single commonest reason a claim sits unprocessed.
  • Give it ten working days, then chase in writing and quote your claim reference.
  • If the company is unresponsive or has stopped trading, report it to the CPSC at SaferProducts.gov, and try the retailer in parallel.
