Statement from U.S. CPSC Chairman Elliot F. Kaye Regarding The Recall of 2.8 Million Samsung Top-Load Washing Machines
Before you do another load of laundry, contact Samsung and respond to this recall. These top loading washers present a risk of injury when used on a high speed spin cycle. This is a consumer-friendly and consumer-protective recall that provides easy options for consumers. The remedies should motivate everyone with a recalled unit to act right away. There is a risk of injury if the top of the washing machine unexpectedly detaches. The best way to prevent injury is for everyone who might have a recalled washing machine to contact Samsung--immediately.
