and last updated

Nearly 3.5 million dehumidifiers are being recalled in the U.S. because they can overheat, smoke and catch fire. 

The recall involves dehumidifiers made by GD Midea and sold under more than 50 different brand names, including GE, Honeywell and Sunbeam. 

Midea has received 38 reports of smoke and fire incidents and about $4.8 million in property damage. 

No injuries have been reported. 

Consumers should stop using the product, unplug it and contact GD Midea for a replacement unit or a partial refund. 

An additional 85,000 of the recalled dehumidifiers were sold in Canada.
