Gree, a China-based appliance company, has issued a recall for over 1.5 million dehumidifiers. These dehumidifiers, which include popular brands like Kenmore, GE, SoleusAir, Norpole, and Seabreeze, have been identified as posing significant fire and burn risks. The affected units were manufactured between January 2011 and February 2014.
Safety Concerns and Consumer Protection
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) released an official notice on August 16th, emphasizing the seriousness of the risk. Consumers have complained about dehumidifiers overheating, smoking, and even catching on fire.
Immediate Steps for Consumers
If you own a dehumidifier from one of the affected brands and models, you should stop using it immediately. Unplug the device and check the CPSC website for specific model numbers included in the recall. Most of the units were sold at retailers such as Home Depot, Lowe’s, Menards, Sam’s Club, Sears, and Walmart. Consumers are advised to contact Gree to confirm their eligibility for a refund as part of the recall process.
