South Korean electronics giant Samsung has received nine reports of injuries caused by the washing machines, including broken jaws, shoulder injuries and other injuries. In addition, Samsung has received 733 reports of excessive vibrations caused by the machines during use.

Previously, between March 2011 and November 2015, Samsung also recalled about 34 top-loading washing machines. Some American customers also filed a lawsuit against Samsung, alleging that its washing machines could explode under normal use.

Samsung's washing machine recall comes just a few months after the electronics company recently recalled and destroyed its Galaxy Note 7 smartphone line./.
