Hazard

The dehumidifiers can overheat, smoke and catch fire, posing serious fire and burn hazards.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately turn off and unplug the dehumidifiers and contact GD Midea for either a replacement unit or a partial refund. Consumers whose dehumidifiers were manufactured before October 1, 2008 will receive a partial refund, not a replacement. The manufacturing dates can be found on back of units.
