Dehumidifiers that can start fires recalled by consumer protection agency

Nearly 100,000 dehumidifiers are being recalled after reports of 11 incidents of property damage, including four building fires, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said.

The Chinese-made dehumidifiers, manufactured by LG Electronics Tianjin Appliance Co., were sold under the Goldstar and Comfort-Aire brands at Walmart, Home Depot and Heat Controller Inc. The dehumidifiers also are being recalled by Health Canada.

Those who have the dehumidifiers are asked to stop using them immediately.

In a news release, the CPSC said the power connector to the unit's compressor can short circuit, which can cause a fire.


The models being recalled have a 30-pint reservoir, a red shut-off button, a front loading bucket as well as fan and humidity controls. They were sold for $140 to $150 between January 2007 and June 2008.

To see if your dehumidifier is affected, go to this site set up by LG and enter your brand, model and serial model numbers. The serial number can be seen when the bucket is removed.

For those who register with the recall, LG will provide repairs at an approved service center to modify the unit. They should not be brought back to the retailer and no proof of purchase is necessary.

For more information, call LG at 877-220-0479 weekdays between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. Eastern Time and between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Saturdays.

Texas School Suspends Taylor Pugh for Long Hair - Sphere News

Looking to the news for this mornings current events, I stummbled across this ridiculous story of a little boy being suspended for having what the district he lives in refers to as long hair.

Wow, the first thing that comes to mind is that my own son would be kicked out of this school. He too has long surfer hair!

Aside from long hair, the little boy is planning to donate his hair to the cancer society. In a perfect world we would honor this child for his foresight and compassion for others.
Sadly not only has this school suspended him but has put him on a in school isolated suspension where he is not allowed to play with his friends.

This story also is dear to me in that my own son is very attached to his hair. At 4 years old he is into the surfer look and has cried when we attempted to go to the salon for just a trim. My husband and I completly support him, his style choice and desire to have "long hair."

The other interesting part is that many years ago, for a short time I lived in the very district referred to in this article and got in minor trouble. Being originally from CA, I was not aware that it was mandatory to wear nylons under your dresses in Texas Schools, I was non-compliant and sent home to change. Differences I guess!
