Dehumidifier Fire recall

[albano]

Just saw this on RC ... Please check it out!

Looks like dehumdifiers sold from 2005 til now from home depot, lowes and kmart from 20-70 pints are catching on fire. I know a lot of us with basement sumps are using them. More info on the cpsc.gov website.

here's a "full list" I got off ABC news but I would search for myself to double check. Looks like they've caused over 45 fires.
