A number of Kenmore dehumidifiers have been recalled because of an overheating hazard that poses burn and fire risks to consumers, reports the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Around 795,000 dehumidifier units, manufactured by LG Electronics Appliance Co. in China, and sold exclusively at Kmart and Sears (both in-store and online) between 2003 and 2009 for a price of $140 – $220 have been recalled because of a tendency for them to overheat, melt, and catch fire, posing burn and fire hazards to consumers.

The recall includes Kenmore brand 35-, 50- and 70-pint dehumidifiers manufactured by LG, made from white plastic with a Kenmore logo on their front panels.

There have been seven reports of dehumidifier fires, including one that resulted in severe burns to a consumer’s foot. Three other fires caused more than $300,000 worth of property damage.

If you own one of these defective dehumidifiers, you should turn off and unplug the product immediately and contact a Recall Fulfillment Center to receive a Sears gift card and a Sears $25 coupon towards a new Kenmore dehumidifier.

Runaround! Contact Us Today

Don't let the insurance companies give you the runaround – contact us today to get the legal support you need.











    01 How Soon Should I Contact a Lawyer After an Accident?
    Contacting a lawyer immediately after an accident is crucial to protect your legal rights, preserve evidence, and avoid missing deadlines that could impact your case.
    02 Should I Avoid Talking to Insurance Adjusters?
    It's wise to avoid speaking with insurance adjusters without consulting an attorney first, as they may use the information against you to minimize your compensation or reject your claim entirely.
    03 What if the Other Driver is Lying About the Accident?
    Gathering evidence like witness statements and photographs will help prove your side of the story. The best way to fight a false narrative by the at-fault driver is with facts that prove the truth.
    04 What Happens to My Lost Wages?
    If you can't work because of an injury from someone else's negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages, benefits, and bonuses. An attorney can help you pursue that compensation through negotiations or litigation.
    05 How is Parrish Law Firm Different?
    Founding partner James R. Parrish knows the best strategies for fighting for fair compensation from insurance companies because he used to represent the insurancers in personal injury cases. A background of working on the other side of personal injury claims gives him the insider knowledge necessary to take on these deep-pocketed companies.
    06 How Long Do I Have to Settle My Case?
    There is no strict time limit on settling a personal injury claim. However, there are restrictions on the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit. In Virginia, you must file your personal injury lawsuit within two years of the date of the accident. The time it takes to settle a case depends on the circumstances surrounding the accident and the motivations of both parties. These cases can last from a few months to several years.
