I thought this only happened in my nightmares. And maybe in Final Destination.
Is this the fan that’s pictured only or are there other styles
It’s the one picture, bird.
Thank you Hip2Save! We have this fan and use it a lot!! I’ll be emailing right away.
You are welcome, Stacy!
I have always had this phobia, I can’t believe it’s real. Thanks for the post.
Wish they still made Casablanca fans, we’ve had ours for 35 years! I’ll never buy that brand of fans.
