Safety Recall on Emerson Ceiling Fan Mounting Kit


Emerson Air Comfort Products recently informed its distributors of the safety recall of the CF10N1 accessory kit. The die-cast bracket used in the CF10N1 ceiling fan accessory kit may possibly spread over time allowing the fan to fall from the ceiling.
The CF10N1 accessory kit was designed for use in Emerson fans in both the close-to-ceiling and cathedral ceiling applications. The potential for spreading brackets is limited to those kits used in the close-to-ceiling installations. The CF10N1 was manufactured by Emerson from 1984 to 1989.
It is Emerson's intent to locate and replace as many CF10N1 brackets utilized in close-to-ceiling installations as possible. Emerson will provide replacement parts along with detailed instructions to owners of fans in such configurations free of charge. If a consumer requires assistance with installing the replacement part, Emerson will reimburse qualified electrician/service providers according to the following procedures.
How to determine whether a fan is affected by this notice:
1. Is the fan installed on a flat (non-sloped) ceiling?
2. Does the fan have a two-piece ceiling canopy ?
3. If so, turn off the power at main panel. Remove the two canopy nuts as shown in A. Remove the two piece ceiling canopy and look for the CF10N1 model number on a label located on one of the ceiling canopy sides. If the ceiling canopy does not contain this label, your fan is not affected by this notice.
If the ceiling canopy contains this label, STOP USE of the fan until hanger bracket has been replaced. Do not allow anyone under the fan. Emerson will pro-vide replacement part kits to the service provider at no cost. If you need CF10N1 replacement kits call toll free 1-900-326-5487. Emerson will reimburse service providers up to $50.00 per fan for labor associated with installing the replacement part. Service providers must remove the CF10N1 label from the inside of the ceiling canopy and return the label along with an invoice for service provided. The invoice must include the customer's name, address, and telephone number. Submit all invoices to:
Emerson Air Comfort Products Div.
P.O. Box 127
Riverton, NJ 08077-0127
