Samsung's television and home appliances are not as big as its smartphones. The company has already suffered a huge blow for its defective Galaxy Note 7. Now, the company is facing another major recall. This time, it involves 2.8 million units of its washing machines. Will these products face the same fate as the Galaxy Note 7? The Defective Washing Machines According to ABC News, Samsung and the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) are recalling the company's washing machines after 730 units have been reported to explode. CPSC Chairman Elliot Kaye has told Good Morning America that there's a very serious hazard. Apparently, the top of these washing machines completely blows off. This might have been caused by a design failure. The said defective washing machines are Samsung's 34 top-loading models. They were sold from March 2011 to November 2016. Samsung's Response Samsung has apologized on a statement released to GMA.
