Yesterday, CCTV News exposed the risks of using portable fans. Among the 70 batches of portable fans sampled by the National Household Appliance Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, the qualified rate was about 81.4%. It sounds like a high qualified rate, but if an accident occurs, the harm to the human body is also very serious.

On the Amazon platform, the price of portable fans ranges from US$3 to US$170, with a low average price, and most products have very good sales.

The editor randomly selected a neck-hanging portable fan with a lot of reviews on Amazon. The reviews of this neck-hanging portable fan are highly polarized. Some consumers think this fan is very useful, while others think it is not worth buying at all. The reasons for the negative reviews are mostly concentrated on the fact that hair is often entangled in the fan blades, the battery life is short, and it is easy to be damaged.
