The manufacturer, Guangzhou Jiguang Lighting Co. Ltd., logged the voluntary action as recall number 26-008. Consumers were told to stop using the fan, register for a refund, and dispose of it as hazardous lithium-ion waste.Which Living Glow Portable Waist Fans Are Affected?

- The recalled fans were sold in six colors: gray, white, aqua, coral, red, and sage green.

- The fan measures about 3.6 inches wide by 4 inches tall, with a metal clip and a neck strap.
- HSN sold the fans only through HSN.com and its television network, from May 2025 through July 2025, for $20 to $25.
Why Were the Living Glow Portable Waist Fans Recalled?
Living Glow portable waist fans were recalled because their lithium-ion batteries can overheat while charging. Both the manufacturer and the Consumer Product Safety Commission describe this as a fire hazard. Guangzhou Jiguang Lighting Co. Ltd. filed the recall voluntarily, in cooperation with the agency, after receiving reports that linked the battery to the hazard in the months before the recall was announced. The U.S. Fire Administration warns that a lithium-ion battery should be pulled from use at the first sign of heat, swelling, leaking, or an odor, the same signs tied to this fan’s reported overheating, melting, or fire [2].Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses
Guangzhou Jiguang Lighting Co. Ltd. disclosed four separate incidents of a Living Glow waist fan melting or catching fire, all logged before the October 9, 2025 recall notice was published. No injuries and no property damage have been reported in connection with any of these four incidents. These are the figures the firm gave the CPSC. They do not by themselves prove what caused any single incident. A recall does not automatically establish liability or eligibility for compensation. Anyone whose fan actually overheated, melted, or caused property damage should still register for the refund. Keep photos or receipts in case of a future question.Were you or a family member hurt by this product?

You dispose of a recalled CP-WFLED01 waist fan’s lithium-ion battery by taking it to a municipal household hazardous waste (HHW) collection center rather than trash or curbside recycling bins.
