Maytag Dishwasher Recall Lawsuit
On February 1, 2007 Whirlpool Corp. in association with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a voluntary, nationwide recall of over 2.3 million Maytag and Jenn-Air brand dishwashers.
The recall announcement of the popular dishwashers is in connection to defective internal wiring, which could catch fire.
More specifically, the recall announcement indicated that liquid rinse-aid can leak from the dishwasher's dispenser into internal wiring, which can then short-circuit and ignite.

Maytag Dishwashers Blamed for 135 Fires and 4 Injuries
The faulty wiring in certain Maytag and Jenn-Air brand dishwashers led to a voluntary recall of the machines on Thursday, which has been blamed for causing 135 fires and four injuries.
Of the four injuries reported from dishwasher fires, there were three reports of smoke inhalation and one serious hand laceration as the consumer was operating a fire extinguisher to put out a fire.
The recall involves under-counter or portable plastic tub dishwashers with black, white, almond, bisque or stainless steel front panels.
Affected dishwashers were sold at department and appliances stores between July 1997 and June 2001 and sold at prices between $370 and $800.
