As a mom of three, I am always looking for ways to protect my family. After reading this recall on dehumidifiers, it was obvious that I needed to help spread the word and help protect other families. Please read and share!

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.

1 million play yards recalled due to faulty latch
Side rails can collapse unexpectedly, resulting in at least one concussion
About 1 million play yards have been recalled because the side rail can fail to latch properly. A child who pushes against it could fall.
The play yards are sold under the brand names of Kolcraft, Carter's, Sesame Street, Jeep, Contours, Care Bear and Eric Carle. They're manufactured in China, Spain and Italy and distributed by Kolcraft Enterprises Inc. of Chicago.
The company has received 347 reports of play yards' sides collapsing, resulting in 21 injuries, including a concussion, as well as bumps, scrapes and bruises.
The play yards were sold online as well as by Babies R Us, Walmart, Kmart, Sears, Target and other stores around the country between January 2000 and January 2009.
The play yards were produced between December 2000 and July 2008 and sold for between $49 and $160.
Those who have a recalled play yard can order a retrofit kit. For more details, call 866-594-4208 or visit the Web sites http://www.kolcraft.com or http://www.cpsc.gov.
