Gree Electric Appliances has issued six recalls for dehumidifiers going back to 2013, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Today’s recall alone is linked to at least 23 fires, 688 incidents of overheating and $168,000 in property.today there is a “continued risk of fire” from dehumidifiers that have been linked in total to more than 2,000 “incidents” of overheating, 450 fires and four deaths in house fires - one in 2016 and three in 2022. The CPSC said the deaths were the result of house fires “that may have been caused by the recalled dehumidifiers.” The fires caused $19 million in property damage.
The commission said the dehumidifiers were first recalled in September 2013 then updated in October 2013, expanded in January 2014, re-announced in May 2014 and re-announced in November 2016. Those recalls included 2.5 million dehumidifiers. “CPSC evaluated the recalled dehumidifiers and found that they can overheat, smoke, and catch fire, which can lead to serious injury or death.
There have been reports of four deaths potentially associated with Gree dehumidifiers, all involving adults who died from house fires that may have been caused by recalled dehumidifiers. One death occurred in 2016 in Ohio. Another death occurred in 2022 in Iowa. Two more deaths occurred in 2022 in Missouri.”
