The AP (8/10) reports, "More than a million
GE dishwashers are being recalled due to fire hazard. The Consumer Product
Safety Commission said Thursday the voluntary recall includes about 1.3 million
GE, GE Adora, GE Eterna, GE Profile and Hotpoint dishwashers." The story
notes that the dishwashers are being recalled over reports that the machines'
heating elements may be vulnerable to failure and may cause fires.
Bloomberg News (8/10, Catts) adds that
"owners should contact GE for free repairs or vouchers toward the purchase
of a new unit," according to the CPSC. Inez Moore Tenenbaum, chairman of
the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, is quoted as saying, "Consumers
should stop using these dishwashers immediately and disconnect the power."
The Boston Globe (8/10, Lipka) "Consumer
Alert" blog, KTUL-TV Tulsa, OK (8/10) and WTVM-TV Columbus, GA (8/10) also cover this
story.
