Kampuni ya vifaa vya umeme ya Samsung yatangaza kurudishwa kwa takribani mashine milioni 3 za kufulia kwa kuwa kuna taarifa za kuwa mashine hizo zinaweza kulipuka wakati zikifanya kazi.
Mwezi Septemba kampuni hiyo ya Korea Kusini ilitangaza kurudishwa kwa simu za Samsung Galaxy Note 7 ambazo ilidaiwa kuwa zinalipuka wakati wa kuchajiwa.

Samsung still reeling from its fire-prone Galaxy Note 7 smartphone is recalling almost 3 million washing machines because they can explode.
Samsung Electronics (SSNLF) and federal regulators announced the recall on Friday after reports that the lids of the machines can pop off violently while the laundry is spinning, posing an injury risk.
Samsung said it can happen when bedding, water-resistant or bulky items are washed on high speed. The drum can lose its balance, causing excessive vibrations that dislodge the lid.
Samsung was hit with a class action lawsuit over the machines in August. A customer in Texas said her washer "exploded with such ferocity that it penetrated the interior wall of her garage," according to court documents.
The South Korean company is already dealing with the recall of 1 million Galaxy Note 7 smartphones, which can burst into flames while charging.
In September, the CPSC told customers to "immediately stop using and power down" the Galaxy Note 7. The FAA told travelers to turn off their phones when flying, and the New York City transit system said to turn them off on trains and buses.
The company is offering customers free in-home repair, with a one-year warranty extension, or a rebate to buy a new washer, from Samsung or another company, with free installation and removal of the old one. Customers who stick with Samsung get $150 toward their next washer.
