Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought these fans in July 2019, and today it is May 2021, so I have had these fans for almost two years and have had no issues until last night. In fact I liked them so much I bought and own six of them. I have hemmed and hawed over how to structure this review and how many starts to give it. But I do have concerns over this fan being dangerous to babies, and it is advertised and sold as a baby fan. These fans work as advertised—they are easy to secure with the bendable legs, the batteries are easily rechargeable, and the three speed settings are nice. It’s a powerful little fan that has served us well for the past almost two years, and my 3.5-year-old son has used them without issue this entire time. I have recommended these fans to many people, and I know they are widely loved. Last night came our first serious issue—my (almost) 10-month-old daughter grabbed the fan and her finger went right through the screen and was chopped by the spinning fan blade. She was cut twice, and she did bleed for quite a while. I was absolutely horrified and the sounds of my daughter’s finger being chopped and then her scream is still haunting me. These are advertised as baby fans and are marketed as being great stroller fans—and they are—but they are NOT safe to be near baby fingers. I cannot believe my daughter’s finger so quickly and easily fit right through the back screen. The screen should absolutely be finer/thinner, or even cross hatched, to prevent this very accident. Babies are quick, as we all know, and my daughter snatched this fan and had this accident in the blink of an eye. So if you use these fans, please have them out of reach of babies, and not installed on the front bar of the stroller as advertised. Be careful! I am disappointed with the fan and with myself for my daughter’s injury, and we won’t be using these six fans as baby fans anymore. So out of 5 stars—2 stars because the fan is functional, easy to use, and works well, but minus 3 stars for being unsafe as baby fans and for my daughter being cut.
