Approximately 350,000 GE brand dehumidifiers (30, 40, 50, and 65-pint capacities) are being recalled because they can overheat, smoke, and catch fire. There have been 16 reports of incidents involving these specific GE units, including five fires that caused about $430,000 in property damage. These light gray plastic units were sold at Sam's Club, Walmart, Amazon.com, and eBay between April 2008 and December 2011. Consumers should immediately stop using the units and contact Gree for a full refund.
The internal components of the dehumidifier can overheat during operation, leading to smoke and open flames. This poses a significant risk of house fires and burn injuries to consumers.
Consumers should immediately turn off and unplug the dehumidifiers and contact Gree to receive a refund.
