Authorities at the CPSC stated that after receiving reports of fires and burn injuries Sears is announcing the recall of their Kenmore Dehumidifiers. Sources said that Sears is recalling roughly 795000 units of the product in question. Allegedly the dehumidifiers can overheat when plugged in causing parts to melt and potentially caught on fire.
Reports said that Kenmore owned by LG Electronics received 107 reports of incidents regarding the dehumidifier overheating. The claims totaled over $7000000 in property damages and smoke inhalation issues. The affected models are the 35- 50- and 70-pint units.
According to the manufacturer and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Toyota is set to recall approximately 778000 RAV4 models as well as roughly 18000 Lexus HS 250h units. Fasteners to the rear suspension may not have been torqued to the correct specification potentially increasing the risk of accident. The RAV4s affected were manufactured between 2006-2011 while only the 2010 Lexus models are being recalled.
Commentary
While the problem appears to manifest itself after prolonged use it is still important to have this recall completed. When a manufacturer learns of a potential problem with one of the vehicles a recall will be issued to mitigate their liability. Of course inherent to this discovery is usually an accident whose cause is determined to be mechanical.
