Since 2009, companies have recalled dehumidifiers due to fire and burn hazards. Malfunctioning dehumidifiers have sparked hundreds of fires in the United States. The damage is in the millions.

The dehumidifiers were manufactured by Gree, Midea and LG Electronics but sold under dozens of brand names, including GE, Frigidaire, Kenmore and Comfort-Aire.

Consumers should take down the model number on their unit and search to see if it is recalled. If it is, turn it off immediately and contact the company for a repair or refund.
