Elmark Fan Blade drops off
On 23 July 2024, Andy was having dinner with his family in his flat on the 8th floor when a fan blade from his Elmark fan broke off and fell from the ceiling.
This fan blade from ELMARK suddenly broke and came flying down, just slightly missing my Father’s head.
It hit the window that was closed. If the windows were not closed, the blade would have flew down 8 floors down and hit the cars being parked there.
Elmark brands itself as the ‘King of Fans’.
It has a Google Review rating of 2.2 out of 5 stars (based on 117 reviews).
When Andy reached out to the number provided on Elmark’s website, he was told that his fan was purchased from Malaysia and not from Singapore.
Responding to Wake Up Singapore, a representative from Elmark Singapore said:-
“We presume is the customer stay at Hougang who has bought the fan from Malaysia a few years ago.
We already refer him to Malaysia agent for his query and also confirmed that Malaysia agent already responded to him…
this matter has closed, as this fan was bought from Malaysia, no comment.”

Past incidents from Elmark
At least one reviewer on Elmark’s Google page expressed regret that he did not read the reviews prior to his purchase.

“Fan blades could also come loose when in use and cause cuts.”
