The affected products are water tanks of 14 models including the Whisen dehumidifier DQ202PBBC.

Detailed information about the affected products and the measures can be found on the Consumer Agency's website and the Consumer Hazard Monitoring System. Consumers who own the products can apply for water tank replacement through the LG Electronics customer center or website. The Consumer Agency stated, "We will continue to monitor products distributed in the market and actively strive to create a market environment where consumers can engage in consumption with peace of mind."
