The recall affects 34 top-loading models sold at various stores starting in 2011.
Samsung received nine related reports of injuries, including a broken jaw, injured shoulder and other fall-related injuries.
It is a lot of reports.
Kaye said the tops of the affected units werent secured enough based on a design failure.
And the top just completely blows off.
It seems things have escalated since then, leading to todays announcement.
