The Samsung phone Samsung, with the help of the United States Product Safety Commission, have recalled 2.8 million top-loading washing machines after reports that 730 of the machines have exploded.   

The explosions have resulted in the injury of nine people, with one detailing a washer lid that “flew off and hit a woman in the back, causing her to ‘collide into a cabinet.’”
