Resumen

CPSC registra el retiro 12251, publicado el 21 de agosto de 2012. Empresa responsable: LG Electronics, Inc., of South Korea; Unidades reportadas: About 21,000.

Qué peligro representa

The gas valve in the recalled dryers can fail to shut off properly, continuing to heat the dryer and its contents after the drying cycle is complete. High temperatures inside and on the exterior surface of the dryers can scorch the drum, as well as burn or damage the dryer contents, posing a risk of burn, fire and smoke inhalation.

Qué hacer

Consumers should turn off the gas supply and stop using the dryers until repaired. LG brand owners who purchased their dryer at retailers other than Sears should contact LG customer service to arrange for a free gas valve replacement. Customers who purchased Kenmore or LG brand dryers from Sears should contact Transform for Kenmore branded products to schedule a free repair to replace the gas valve. Some consumers have already been notified and have received the repair service.
