Maytag Inadvertantly Ships Dishwashers Which Do Not Burst Into Flames

Maytag has been rightly proud of nearly 16 consecutive years, 1994 - 2010 (except for 1996) of shipping dual function dishwashers which both wash dishes and burst into flames. Proud that is, until it was recently brought to their attention that Maytag inadvertantly shipped dishwashers for five of those years, 2001 - 2006, which can only wash dishes.
A Maytag spokeman reached for comment apologized to Maytag customers, and indicated that each of the effected models will be recalled and retrofit with incendiary devices to provide the level of quality and dependability we have all come to expect from Maytag.
Of the 3.4 million dishwashers produced in the period 2001 - 2006, the spokesman estimated that up to 465 units are still functioning at some barely acceptable level, with 265 additional units languishing lost and unsold in the darker areas of Maytag's distribution network.
