Hampton Bay Halwin Ceiling Fan Recall: Check Your Purchase Records First

By Revco Lighting & Electrical Supply | Information checked September 10, 2026

Quick Answer

Hampton Bay Halwin 52-inch ceiling fans with model numbers AK396H-MBK and AK396H-BN were recalled on August 13, 2026, because their blades can separate. If you own an affected fan, stop using it immediately. Check receipts, packaging or existing warranty records to help identify the model, then contact the official recall administrator about your options. Do not climb to the fan or open its mounting plate to find identification information.

Read the CPSC recall notice

For Suffolk County homeowners, property managers and contractors helping a customer, the useful starting point is the paperwork already on hand. A receipt or saved order can help narrow down which fan was purchased before anyone needs to access ceiling-mounted equipment.

Check the records you already have

Look for the Home Depot receipt, order confirmation or saved purchase history.
Compare any model number or UPC on retained packaging and warranty paperwork with the recall details.
For multiple properties, note the address and room associated with each purchase. Keep uncertain matches marked as unconfirmed.
If the records are missing or unclear, contact the recall administrator and explain what information you have.

Do not climb, open the mounting plate, touch wiring or remove the fan to obtain a label photograph. Ask a licensed electrician about identification that requires equipment access, as well as removal or installation work.

Contact the recall administrator before preparing a claim

Youngo's recall program provides refund options, but the documents requested can depend on the claim route. Its online form asks for more documentation than the CPSC announcement's summary. Confirm the current requirements with the administrator before arranging photographs, return or disposal.

Official recall contact: 877-902-5588, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific (noon to 8 p.m. Eastern). Email: halwin-recall@tal-usa.com.

Questions about the recall

My fan seems to work normally. Can I keep using it?

The manufacturer says to stop using an affected fan even if it appears to work normally. Do not run it to check for a problem.

I do not have the receipt. Is there still a claim option?

The manufacturer describes a store-return route for customers without a receipt. Contact the recall team or Home Depot to confirm what applies before arranging removal or a return.

Will the recall pay for an electrician?

The manufacturer's current FAQ says removal, installation and labor costs are not covered. Confirm those terms with the recall administrator before booking work.

Does this recall cover every Hampton Bay fan?

No. This notice identifies the Halwin models listed above. A shared brand name does not establish that another fan is included.

Can I bring the recalled fan to Revco for a refund?
