> Or are dehumidifiers intrinsically a fire risk for some reason?

A dehumidifier has the same guts as an air conditioner, because an air conditioner was an invented by directing air over a dehumidifier [1]. So, it's not related to the "dehumidifierness" of it.

It's almost certainly the same factory, in China, sourcing the same faulty components.
