If you own a dehumidifier purchased between January 2005 and August 2013, it may be subject to a safety recall. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has recalled 5.6 million dehumidifiers manufactured by Gree® and Midea® and sold under many popular retail brands.

Gree-manufactured units have reportedly caught fire, causing a reported $19 million in damage, and Midea-manufactured units have caused a reported $4.8 million in damage.

If you purchased a dehumidifier between January 2005 and August 2013, follow these steps immediately:

1. Locate the model number.

The model number is typically found on the front, side, or back of the unit on a nameplate sticker.
