Sears Recalls Kenmore® Dehumidifiers Due to Fire and Burn Hazards

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The hazard

The dehumidifiers can overheat, smoke, melt and catch on fire, posing fire and burn hazards to consumers.

What to do

Consumers should immediately turn off and unplug the dehumidifiers and contact the firm to receive a Sears gift card for either $75, $80, $90 or $100, which may be used at any Sears or Kmart store or at Sears.com or Kmart.com. The gift card amount will depend on the capacity and year of the dehumidifier. In lieu of a gift card, consumers may request a check for the refund amount. All consumers with recalled units will also receive a $25 coupon that may be used at Sears Department Stores or Sears.com toward the purchase of a new Kenmore dehumidifier.
