Approximately 2.5 million dehumidifiers sold under various brand names including Danby, De'Longhi, Frigidaire, GE, and Gree are being recalled because they can overheat, smoke, and catch fire. Since the original recall in 2013, reported incidents of overheating have increased by 400% to 471 reports, and fires have more than doubled to 121 reports, causing nearly $4.5 million in property damage. These units were sold between January 2005 and August 2013 at major retailers nationwide and online. Consumers should immediately stop using and unplug the affected dehumidifiers to receive a refund.
The internal components of the dehumidifiers can overheat and ignite during operation. This has led to 121 reported fires and significant property damage, posing a serious risk of fire-related injuries and burns to consumers.
Consumers should immediately turn off and unplug the dehumidifiers and contact Gree to receive a refund.
