After Galaxy Note 7, another product of Samsung has reportedly been blowing up. This time, its washing machines.
Several Samsung washing machine owners around the U.S. filed complaints against the tech giant, regarding the issue of their top-loading products exploding.
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued a warning on Sep. 28, telling consumers that the Korean company's washing machines have safety issues and certain models of the product are exploding.
This warning popped up few weeks after Samsung recalled its Galaxy Note 7 smartphones for reports of exploding batteries.
In a report from The Washington Post, one of the complainants from Dallas was unloading clothes from the dryer, she was reportedly standing next to the washing machine when it suddenly exploded.
Another one wrote that during the spin cycle, the affected washing machine allegedly "broke free, throwing itself against walls and throwing parts and water everywhere. Had someone been nearby they could have been severely injured."
The lawsuit also mentioned that Samsung had known of this issue with their washing machines for a few years now, but the company have reportedly been taking little effort to warn the customers.
In a statement released by CPSC, it said that they are "actively and cooperatively working with Samsung to address safety issues related to certain top-load washing machines made between March 2011 and April 2016."
The agency, however, did not specify which specific model of the washing machines should be used with precaution.
The Korean tech company has also released a statement telling consumers and owners of the washing machines to take the same precautions and provided a link on their website for the consumers to know whether they have the model of the defective washing machines or not.
According to ABC News, there were reports of 21 people that have submitted complaints to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission. The agency said that further reports from customers should be reported at SaferProducts.gov.
