重要:以下安全事实保留 CPSC 官方英文原文,避免翻译改变含义。请通过右侧官方公告确认行动要求。
危险说明 Hazard
- The dishwashers have a slide switch that can melt and ignite, presenting a fire hazard.
受影响产品
GE and Hotpoint dishwashers
Units:GE manufactured 3.1 million of these dishwashers between 1983 and 1989
官方描述 Description
The GE and Hotpoint dishwashers involved are models beginning with GSD500D, GSD500G, GSD540, HDA467, HDA477, or HDA487 with a serial number that has a second letter of A, M, R, S, T, V or Z (for example, BM12345). The model and serial numbers are located on a rectangular label that is on either the right or left front edge of the inner tub. The GE or Hotpoint brand name is on the front of the dishwasher.
事故与伤害 Incidents / Injuries
- There have been approximately 90 incidents of fire, smoking and melted switches, 14 of which included fires that spread beyond the dishwasher. Approximately 10 incidents have occurred since the recall announcement. No injuries have been reported.
官方补救措施 Remedy
- Both the CPSC and GE strongly urge consumers who have not replaced their recalled units under the original rebate program to contact GE right away to schedule a free rewiring or participate in the original rebate program. Until the dishwasher has been rewired, consumers should keep the dishwasher door unlatched at all times to prevent the flow of electrical current that creates a risk of fire. With the free rewire option, a GE-authorized technician will rewire the slide switch at no cost to consumers. This supplements the original rebate program announced October 19, 1999.
