Yesterday, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a second recall of 5-tray food dehydrators. The fan can fail, causing the unit to overheat and pose a fire hazard.

 

About 14,600 units of this product were sold in the U.S. and 100 in Canada. This product was previously recalled in February 2011.

The dehydrators are gray and are made of plastic and metal. The model number 1009 is on a label located on the back panel with the company’s contact details.  The “LEM” logo is embossed on the top of the unit, which has a panel with the digital timer, the on/off switch and a temperature control knob. The UPC code is printed on the bottom of the packaging and reads 734494010091. LEM Products Distribution has received two reports of fan failure, both resulting in fire in the units.
