Samsung In The News Again For Exploding Washing Machines

First Samsung actually brought accuracy to the phrase “my phone is blowing up.” Now Samsung has an issue with washing machines that explode according to CNN:

U.S. regulators on Wednesday warned owners of certain top-loading Samsung washing machines of “safety issues” following reports that some have exploded.

The warning, from the Consumer Product Safety Commission, covered machines made between March 2011 and April 2016. It did not specify a model.

The commission suggested people use only the delicate cycle to wash bedding and water-resistant and bulky items because the lower spin speed “lessens the risk of impact injuries or property damage due to the washing machine becoming dislodged.”

The agency said it is working with Samsung on a remedy.

One has to wonder if anything that Samsung makes doesn’t blow up?

I can’t wait to see how Samsung deals with this as this will be fodder for late night comedians as well as being a story that keeps them in the news for all the wrong reasons.
