WASHINGTON, Dec. 18 (UPI) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall of Home Depot dehumidifiers due to a fire hazard.

Home Depot has received 18 reports of the units catching fire, the commission said.
The dehumidifiers are beige with "Hampton Bay" printed on the front panel. The recall involves model HB-50 dehumidifiers.
Consumers were advised to stop using the units and contact Home Depot for a gift card worth the full purchase price.
