A claim of the existence of a ‘centrifugal force‘ is not strictly a logical fallacy, except when it is argued to be a real force. It is actually a fictional force that appears to draw a rotating body away from the center of rotation. It is caused by the inertia of the body, which would otherwise continue in the direction of a straight line, if it were not for the constraining force causing the body to rotate about the centre. Professor Julius Sumner Miller entertainingly demonstrates these forces here:
The Logical Place 
It’s not a fictional force, Tim. It’s the other half of a pair that includes a centripetal force. Unless of course you are ditching Newtons third law and the law of conservation of momentum.

With regard to centrifugal force you say: “It is actually a fictional force that appears to draw a rotating body away from the center of rotation.”
This is not true, a centrifugal force is the outward radial force “EXERTED” by a rotating mass, just ask Newton.

It IS a fictional force. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_force?wprov=sfti1
