LEM Products is expanding a recall for about 3,000 5-tray food dehydrators, including units previously repaired in 2013, due to a risk of electrical shock. Damaged internal wiring can touch a metal bracket inside the machine, leading to shorts and sparks. The company has received nine reports of electrical shorts, including one instance of sparks damaging a countertop and carpet. Affected units are gray plastic and metal with model number 1009 and digital timers, sold nationwide at retailers like Gander Mountain and Sportsman's Warehouse from June 2011 through December 2013.
Internal wiring can become damaged and contact a metal bracket within the machine, creating a path for electricity that poses a serious shock hazard to anyone touching the device. This defect has already caused reports of electrical shorts and sparking that damaged surrounding surfaces.
Consumers should immediately stop using the dehydrators and contact LEM Products Distribution for instructions on free shipping and repair of the recalled product.
