'... we haven't heard from them (fan company) ever since, despite several email chases. We were also unable to reach them via their phone lines.'

SINGAPORE: A man took to social media on Sunday to post a warning after one of the blades on his ceiling fan in his master bedroom flew off last month and landed near the crib where his infant sleeps.

In a post on the Complaint Singapore Facebook page, Mr Ong wrote that the incident occurred on March 30. After moving his three-month-old baby to the next room, he heard a loud crash from the master bedroom. Thankfully I had just carried my baby out a few minutes ago and no one was in the room at that time! We were just 1-2 metres away from the crash,” wrote Mr Ong.He contacted the company on April 1, and the following day, a technician who was supposed to install new fan blades was sent.

Mr Ong added that the fans in their home have been replaced with KDK brand fans. When the KDK installers came, they said “no” when asked if the fan was too close to the wardrobe.
