What is this? A small USB fan with a metal blade guard. The front cover can bend, leaving the sharp blades uncovered.

What's happening? The guard can bend easily. This lets fingers touch the spinning blades, causing cuts.

Does this affect me? If you own or use this fan in Spain, stop using it right away.

What should I do? Ask a pharmacist or doctor if you were cut. Return the fan to where you bought it for a refund.
