GE dehumidifier selected for recall

Over 1.5 million dehumidifiers from five different brands are being recalled following a warning from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The recall comes after reports of nearly two dozen fires caused by the products, which are all manufactured by China-based Gree Electric Appliances.

In total, 42 different models of dehumidifiers are included in the recall and were all sold between January 2011 and February 2014. The affected products were sold nationwide at retailers including Walmart, Home Depot and Sam’s Club.
