Hit by the Note 7 fiasco, Samsung Electronics has now decided to recall about 2.8 million top-loading washing machines due to risk of impact injuries.
The affected washers are manufactured between March 2011 and current production dates.
"The voluntary action was driven by reports highlighting the risk that the drums in these washers may lose balance, triggering excessive vibrations, resulting in the top separating from the washer," Samsung said in a statement on Friday.
"This can occur when a high-speed spin cycle is used for bedding, water-resistant or bulky items and presents an injury risk to consumers," it added.
This recall involves 34 models of Samsung top-load washing machines, CPSC said.
"This is a recall of certain Top-Load washers manufactured between March, 2011 and current production dates. Front Load Washers are not affected," Samsung added.
