WASHINGTON, 14 de septiembre de 2011 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ -- LG Electronics Tianjin Appliance Co., en cooperación con la Comisión para la Seguridad de Productos de Consumo de los Estados Unidos (CPSC por sus siglas en inglés), urge a los consumidores a que averigüen si tienen en su poder los deshumidificadores retirados del mercado Goldstar o Comfort-Aire. La firma está anunciando nuevamente el retiro del mercado de unos 98,000 de los deshumidificadores peligrosos que presentan riesgo de incendio y quemaduras serias, y a los que se atribuye más de un millón de dólares en daños a la propiedad.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20030904/USCSCLOGO)

El conector de alimentación del compresor del deshumidificador puede tener un cortocircuito, causando peligro de incendio y quemaduras a los consumidores y sus propiedades.

Los deshumidificadores fueron retirados del mercado por primera vez en diciembre de 2009 después de once incidentes, incluyendo cuatro incendios significativos. Desde entonces, la compañía ha recibido dieciséis reportes de incidentes adicionales de descargas eléctricas, humo e incendios asociados con los deshumidificadores, incluyendo nueve incendios significativos. No se ha reportado ninguna lesión. Se ha informado que los incendios causaron más de $1 millón en daños a la propiedad, incluyendo:

  • $500,000 en daños a una casa en Gibsonia, Pa.
  • $200,000 en daños a una casa en New Brighton, Minn.
  • $183,000 en daños a una casa en Hudson, Mass.
  • $192,000 en daños a una casa en Valparaiso, Ind.
  • $139,000 en daños a una casa en Salem, Ohio
  • $129,000 en daños a una casa en Brielle, N.J.
  • $ 95,000 en daños a una casa en Philadelphia, Pa.

Debido a la severidad de los riesgos, la CPSC y LG Electronics están preocupados por la inacción de los consumidores con respecto al retiro del mercado. Solamente un dos por ciento de los 98,000 consumidores que compraron estas unidades han realizado las reparaciones gratuitas debidas, lo que quiere decir que los consumidores y sus propiedades siguen estando expuestos a riesgos serios.

Se insta urgentemente a toda persona que tenga un deshumidificador retirado del mercado  a que deje de usarlo, lo desenchufe, y que se ponga en contacto con LG Electronics para la reparación gratis.  

El retiro del mercado incluye los deshumidificadores portátiles de 30 pintas vendidos bajo las marcas Goldstar y Comfort-Aire. Los deshumidificadores son blancos con interruptor de botón rojo, control de velocidad del ventilador y humedad, y un balde de agua de carga frontal. "Goldstar" o "Comfort-Aire" está impreso en la parte delantera. Los modelos y números de serie incluidos en este retiro del mercado se hallan a continuación. El modelo y número de serie se encuentran en la parte interior del deshumidificador, y son visibles quitando el balde de agua.
