Millions of dehumidifiers recalled after causing fires, property damage
NY Post
Some 2 million dehumidifiers made by a Taiwan-based manufacturer for over 20 well-known brands and sold in major stores across the US have been recalled because they can overheat and catch fire.
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission said the company, New Widetech, is aware of more than 100 incidents of the dehumidifiers overheating or catching fire. Fires caused by the issue have resulted in about $17 million in property damage, the CPSC said, though no one has been injured, as far as the agency and the manufacturer are aware.More Related News
