Statement From Electrolux North America, Inc.

Electrolux North America, Inc. issued the following statement:

"Although I'm unable to comment about the specific lawsuit, we dispute that our front load washers contain any defect regarding mold or mildew. Please see several tips for consumers experiencing mold or mildew:
• To help prevent odors, mildew or mold, consumers should leave the door open for a few hours after use to allow the washer to dry.
• Additionally, consumers can refresh or clean the inside of the washer by running the Clean Washer cycle. Some models have an automated reminder mode or consumers may prefer to manually select the cycle.
• If a consumer believes that their product is not working as expected, we urge them to call our consumer services group to discuss whether service is necessary."
