More than 2 million dehumidifiers commercialized by major brands have been recalled due to possible fire and burn hazards.
New Widetech recalls approximately 2.4 million dehumidifiers sold across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. These dehumidifiers were made in China and sold at many stores like Walmart, Lowe’s, Menards or Costco nationwide from February 2009, through August 2017.
In a statement from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (recall date: August 4, 2021; recall number: 21-174), the agency said the dehumidifiers can overheat and catch fire. There have been 107 instances of dehumidifiers catching fire or overheating reported to the manufacturer. Although no injuries were reported, the $17 million property damage caused by the defective dehumidifiers in the recall has been significant.
