Found this on another forum, and thought it would be good to re-post here, just in case the word hadn't gotten out. Apparently, a fire hazard.

Re: De-humidifier safety recall
The same recall has been posted for at least a few days in the Jam Session. Twelve brands are involved, so everyone check carefully!

Re: De-humidifier safety recall
Mine was on the list. These are all dehumidifiers made by Gree and sold under other names. I called Gree and they sent the return envelope in a few days. They want the plug cut off and labels removed so I did that, put them in the envelope and returned it to Gree. They say 6 to 8 weeks for the refund. Of course I had to go out and immediately buy another dehumidifier but better safe than sorry. I'm thankful I got 2 years out of the old one and no fires!
