Latest News & Updates on Living Glow Portable Waist Fan Recall Lawsuits
October 2025
CPSC announced the Living Glow portable waist fan recall on October 9, 2025, warning that the lithium-ion batteries can overheat while charging and pose a fire hazard. The recall covers about 48,000 five-in-one portable waist fans sold by HSN [1].
NFPA explains that lithium-ion battery fires can involve thermal runaway, a chain reaction that may produce intense heat, smoke, and fire. That risk is especially important for small rechargeable devices that may be worn, charged near bedding or clothing, or stored inside bags [2].
The U.S. Fire Administration advises consumers to stop using lithium-ion devices that overheat, swell, leak, smell unusual, change shape, or make odd noises. Those warning signs may be relevant when evaluating whether a recalled rechargeable fan showed signs of battery failure before a melting or fire incident [3].
What Is the Living Glow Portable Waist Fan?
The recalled product is the Living Glow five-in-one portable waist fan, model CP-WFLED01. The model number appears on the label on the back of the fan.
The fan was sold in gray, white, aqua, coral, red, and sage green. It measures about 3.6 inches wide by 4 inches tall and has a metal clip that can attach to a belt, along with a strap for wearing around the neck.
The fan includes five fan speeds, a three-mode flashlight, and a power-bank function. Those added features make the product more than a simple fan because it may be charged, carried, worn, stored with personal items, and used around phones or other devices.
That wearable design creates a different risk profile than a stationary appliance. A battery failure could occur on a nightstand, in a purse, clipped to clothing, inside luggage, on a charger, or near fabrics and personal belongings.
Reported Risks or Injuries
The reported hazard is overheating of the lithium-ion battery while charging. CPSC said the fan can melt or catch fire.
The firm received four reports of the portable waist fan melting or catching fire. No injuries or property damage were reported in the CPSC recall notice.
Even without reported injuries, a small rechargeable fan can create real danger if it overheats near clothing, bedding, paper, upholstered furniture, or stored belongings. A fan worn on the body could also create burn risk if a battery problem occurs shortly after charging or while the device is being handled.
Potential harms may include skin burns, smoke exposure, damaged clothing, melted surfaces, fire extinguisher residue, burned bags, damaged electronics, or damage to nearby household items. The details of where the fan was charging or stored may strongly affect the seriousness of a claim.
How Does the Problem Occur, and Who May Be Liable?
The problem may occur when the fan’s lithium-ion battery overheats during charging. If heat continues to build, the battery or surrounding plastic housing may melt, smoke, or ignite.
A product investigation may examine the battery cell, charging port, circuit board, power-bank function, flashlight circuitry, enclosure materials, charger compatibility, warning labels, and instructions. Because the product could be used as a wearable fan and a charging accessory, the investigation may also consider whether foreseeable use was adequately accounted for in the design.
Potentially responsible parties may include the manufacturer, importer, distributor, seller, battery supplier, component supplier, or other entities in the product chain. Liability depends on product identification, fire-cause evidence, defect evidence, damages, and applicable law.
The recall remedy can affect the evidence trail. Consumers are told to register for the recall, disable the portable fan according to the firm’s instructions, and dispose of it under local and state rules, so photographs and written records should be collected before the product is altered.
Who May Be Affected?
Consumers who purchased a Living Glow portable waist fan through HSN.com or the HSN television network from May 2025 through July 2025 may be affected. The recall covers model CP-WFLED01.
People may also be affected if the fan was bought as a gift, used by another family member, packed for travel, or stored in a shared area. The person who suffered damage does not always have to be the original purchaser.
The sales channel may help with product identification because HSN customers may have order records, account history, confirmation emails, packing slips, or payment records. Those records can be valuable if the fan itself was already disabled or discarded through the recall process.
Do I Qualify?
You may qualify for a legal review if a recalled Living Glow portable waist fan melted, smoked, overheated, caught fire, burned someone, or damaged property. A review may focus on the product model, HSN purchase history, where the fan was charging, what damage occurred, and whether the device is still available for documentation.
Important records may include photos of the fan’s back label, model number, charging cord, charging location, melted housing, burned objects, damaged clothing, bags, bedding, furniture, or electronics. HSN order history, email receipts, recall registration records, and refund communications may also help establish the product and timeline.
If anyone needed medical care, save burn photos, urgent care records, smoke-exposure notes, prescriptions, and follow-up instructions. If property was damaged, keep fire department records, insurance files, cleanup invoices, repair estimates, and replacement receipts.
Before disabling the fan, take clear photos from multiple angles. If the product must be discarded through a household hazardous waste program, keep any written disposal instructions or confirmation showing how the recalled lithium-ion device was handled.

Legal Process Overview
Free case review: The review begins with product identification, HSN purchase information, the charging setup, and the type of damage involved. The fan’s model label and the consumer’s order history may be key starting points.
Product documentation: Because the recall requires consumers to disable and dispose of the fan, photos may become essential. Images should show the full fan, back label, charging port, cord, melted or burned areas, and nearby damaged property.
Fire investigation: Attorneys may evaluate whether the incident involved charging, whether the fan matches model CP-WFLED01, and whether the damage pattern is consistent with a battery-related failure. Fire reports, insurance records, witness accounts, and disposal records may also be reviewed.
Claim filing: If the evidence supports a claim, legal filings may allege product defect, negligence, failure to warn, breach of warranty, or other claims depending on state law. Filing deadlines vary by state.
Resolution: A claim may resolve through settlement, dismissal, court ruling, or trial. The timeline depends on the severity of injury or property loss, product documentation, fire-cause evidence, and the response from responsible parties.
