Dehumidifiers Recalled for Fire Hazard

Kim Harrison was kind enough to pass along this recall notice. Gree, a major manufacturer of dehumidifiers, has recalled 12 brands of dehumidifiers. Over 2.2 million have been sold in the US and Canada under the brand names Danby, De’Longhi, Fedders, Fellini, Frigidaire, Gree, Kenmore, Norpole, Premiere, Seabreeze, SoleusAir and SuperClima.

A variety of brands sell Gree-manufactured dehumidifiers.

"I am getting rid of mine, and I’m hoping my boating and racing friends get rid of theirs too. It is that time of year when Bay Area boaters turn on their portable dehumidifiers," says Kim. There’s been over $2 million dollars of property damage to date, and we’d hate to see any boats or boat owners affected as well. Thanks for the heads-up, Kim!
