After the smartphone, the washing machines. Never seems to end the “danger of explosion” between the products of Samsung. This time relates to a household appliance of the Korean house, only sold on the american market – it is not sold neither in Europe nor in Italy — from march of 2011. After 733 complaints – reports the Bbc – it was inevitable withdrawal from the market of 2.8 million pieces. That comes a few weeks after the announcement of the stop of the production of Notes 7, the new maxismartphone with defective batteries that, in most cases, have caught fire and exploded. A episode already cost Samsung a drop of 30 percent in profits in the last quarter.
Portholes maddened
The problem of washing machines “explosive” occurs during the spin cycle. Hundreds of cases in which the appliance has lost the porthole top. The piece, hurled with force, hit one person in nine cases. The budget of the “injuries” including a broken jaw and a shoulder is damaged. Samsung has clarified that the problem is with 34 models, in which “the drum of the centrifuge can become unstable, triggering an excess of vibrations, which cause the detachment of the upper part of the washing machine”. Customers will be compensated for the damage (and the appliance) by the koreans. As in the case of Notes 7, who possesses one of the objects on loan will be sent a kit of safety: “our priority is to minimise the risks”. The first to make the complaint have been Suzann Moore and Michelle Soto Fielder, who accused the company of having sold a machine that causes “unreasonable risks to persons and property” ;. The two tell that the explosion was so strong that the door is stuck in the wall of the garage where the washing machine and the groove on the left was visible even from the room next door.
