How to Check For the Dehumidifier Recall on the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) Website:

  1. Go to http://www.recalls.gov
  2. Click the graphic marked "search for recalls."
  3. In the upper left square, under "CPSC Recalls," enter your search terms, e.g. "(brand) dehumidifier."
  4. Click "Go."
  5. Any recalls for dehumidifiers will appear on the next page.
