Some 2 million dehumidifiers sold under well-known brand names from 2009 to 2017 by several major retailers are under recall for a fire hazard that has already resulted in more than 100 incidents and millions of dollars in property damage. According to the Aug. 4 recall alert from the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the dehumidifiers — manufactured in China by New Widetech — can overheat and catch fire, posing burn hazards.
