The South Korean electronics giant and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission on Dec. 22 announced a recall of more than 660,000 top-loading washing machines because a short-circuit can cause the appliances to overheat and catch fire.
The 663,500 washers covered by the recall were sold at Best Buy (BBY) – Get Free Report, Costco (COST) – Get Free Report, Home Depot (HD) – Get Free Report, Lowe’s (LOW) – Get Free Report and other appliance stores nationwide, and online at Samsung.com from June 2021 through December of this year for between $900 and $1,500.
Samsung has received 51 reports of smoking, melting, overheating or fire involving the washers, according to a CPSC filing. Ten of them resulted in property damage. Three people have reported injuries due to smoke inhalation.
