The recall involves 42 models of dehumidifiers with brand names Kenmore, GE, SoleusAir, Norpole and Seabreeze. The dehumidifiers are white, beige, gray or black plastic and measure between 19 and 24 inches tall, 13 and 15 inches wide, and 9 and 11 inches deep.

They were manufactured in China between January 2011 and February 2014, and distributed in the U.S. By GE Appliances; Gree USA Sales Ltd.; IRP; MC Appliance Corp. ; and MJC America Ltd. dba Soleus International Inc.

The affected products were sold at Home Depot, Lowe's, Menards, Sam's Club, Sears, Walmart and other stores nationwide, starting in 2011 through 2014 for between $110 and $400.

Consumers are urged to immediately stop use, unplug the dehumidifiers, and contact Gree to receive a refund.
