Maytag Dishwasher Recall Lawsuit

Maytag has issued a nationwide recall of over 2.3 million dishwashers, which could catch on fire due to faulty wiring.

Faulty wiring in certain Maytag and Jenn-Air brand dishwashers led to a voluntary recall of the machines on Thursday. Dishwashers are blamed for causing 135 fires and four injuries.

The recall announcement said liquid rinse-aid can leak from the dishwasher’s dispenser into internal wiring, which can then short-circuit and ignite.

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.
