No injuries were reported from the fires.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S.-made fans were sold between July 2002 and December 2005 at major stores throughout the United States. They ranged in price from $12 to $25.<\/p>\n<p>The commission said the recall affects Lasko box fans with the model numbers 3720, 3723 and 3733; and Galaxy box fans with model number 4733 that have the date &#8220;2002-2003&#8221; or &#8220;2003-2004&#8221; stamped on the bottom. Model numbers can be found stamped or printed on the bottom of the fans.<\/p>\n<p>For those who own one of these fans, contact Lasko for a free fused plug safety adapter. The company can be reached at the toll-free number (877) 445-1314 or the website www.laskoproducts.com. \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/money.cnn.com\/2011\/03\/24\/news\/companies\/fans_recall_lasko\/index.htm?section=money_topstories&#038;utm_source=feedburner&#038;utm_medium=feed&#038;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+rss%2Fmoney_topstories+%28Top+Stories%29#TOP\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/0e63013ebug.gif\" alt=\"To top of page\" border=\"0\" width=\"7\" height=\"7\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--endclickprintexclude--><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/41a2840erecall.top_.jpg-150x150.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>See the rest here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/rss.cnn.com\/~r\/rss\/money_topstories\/~3\/54-iMjRtOGM\/index.htm\" title=\"4.8 million box fans recalled for fire risk\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">4.8 million box fans recalled for fire risk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> About 4.8 million box fans made by Lasko are being recalled for a fire risk.
