Federal regulators have recalled about 6,061 ventilation fans built into heat pumps that heat, cool, and ventilate classrooms, after 11 reported incidents that resulted in fires and at least $2.7 million in property damage.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the action Thursday for Airedale-branded ventilation fans in ClassMate and SchoolMate heat pumps made by Modine Manufacturing Company of Racine, Wisconsin. About 735 additional units were sold in Canada. No injuries have been reported.
