Home appliances cause an estimated 150,000 fires a year, resulting in 150 deaths and more than $500 million in property damage.

A new investigation has turned up  disturbing findings. While many of those fires are due to human error, a troubling number are caused by defective appliances.

KVUE's Terri Gruca has details in Consumer Reports.
