In Israel announced the recall of the ceiling fan MATRIX because of the risk of falling

In Israel, the official recall of the ceiling fan MATRIX (model MX-CF42-4CL-WH) began due to the threat of falling the device and getting injured. The product does not meet the mandatory safety standard and consumers are instructed to immediately stop using it.

In Israel, on October 21, 2026, the Consumer Product Safety Portal published an official call for the immediate cessation of the use of the MATRIX ceiling fan, the MX-CF42-4CL-WH model imported by Saynet Leket Ltd. and sold on the market from April 2023 to April 2025. The reason for the recall was the insufficient strength of the mechanical mounting of the fan to the ceiling revealed during laboratory tests, which can lead to its fall during operation and, as a result, to serious injuries to users. The tests were carried out by an accredited Hermon Laboratories laboratory on behalf of the Standards Authority of the Ministry of Economy of Israel, and showed that the product did not comply with the mandatory Israeli standard хי 900 ח 2 2.80 (SI 900 Part 2.80), which is based on international standards IEC/EN 60335-2-80 and regulates special requirements for the safety of electric fans, including the strength of the ceiling models.

Authorities emphasize that all owners of this fan should immediately stop its operation and contact the importing company for free replacement or repair of the device. Contact details of the importer: Saynet Leket Ltd., Shahak Industrial Park, Shaked, phone 04-6350680, e-mail orly@saynet.co.il. At the moment, the recall applies only to this model and does not apply to other products of the MATRIX brand.

According to Israeli consumer protection law, buyers have the right to free repair of defects, replacement or return of goods in case of dangerous defects. Similar recalls of household appliances in Israel occur several times a year: for example, in 2026, similar measures were recorded against other ceiling fans and heaters that do not meet safety standards [gov.il].

It is important to note that, according to the European Safety Gate (RAPEX) system and the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), at the international level, similar recalls of MATRIX ceiling fans or other models with similar mounting defects have not been recorded in the past two years [ec.europa.eu], [cpsc.gov]. This underscores that the recall initiative is currently an Israeli measure.

In the long run, Israeli regulators can be expected to continue tightening controls on imported appliances, especially in the mass-market goods segment, where violating standards could have serious consequences for the health and safety of citizens. It is possible that after the publication of the results of the investigation and the recall campaign, other countries will also turn their attention to similar models, especially if there are reports of incidents outside Israel. It is important for consumers to respond promptly to such notices and to exercise their legitimate rights to protection and compensation.
