  1. No one hurt

    Made Jan 28, 2026, sent to the company Feb 2, 2026, published by CPSC Feb 18, 2026

    The product, in the report: Samsung top load washing machine. Model number: WA50M7450AW/A4 Serial number: 0EPR5DDJ402232F

    Purchased a Samsung washing machine that developed a foul sewage smell after light use. Upon inspection, found excessive bio-sludge and waste buildup inside the tub and on the components. I had to disassemble and pressure wash the interior multiple times, yet it remains unsanitary and unusable. No household appliance should harbor this level of contamination. This is a serious health hazard and product safety issue.
