Full Gree dehumidifier recall list: how do I know if mine is affected and what happens with the refund?
More than 1.5 million dehumidifiers have been recalled because of a fire risk. Compensation is available for consumers who bought a product on this list.
Brands such as GE and Kenmore are having their products recalled after the company behind their dehumidifiers has been forced to recall them. 1.56 million units are affected by the action.
They were manufactured by Gree USA, the US subsidary of a Chinese company, despite them being sold by different brands. The products have been linked to 23 fires and 688 overheating incidents. In the past Gree has been linked to four potential deaths after numerous recalls in the last decade.
“Consumers should immediately stop use, unplug the dehumidifiers and contact Gree to receive a refund,” the Consumer Product Safety Commission said in a notice to consumers.
Some of the dehumidifiers are worth $400.
