Hey everyone... Wanted to let you all know about a recall on the Infinite Breeze fan. Definitely need to stop using them if you have one that wasn't purchased very recently, as they will apparently short out and create a fire risk.
This information is a little old, but I just found out myself and it doesn't seem to have been shared here yet.

There's the form to fill out for replacement.
