The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has announced a recall of Frigidaire-brand minifridges due to fire and burn hazards.
What we know:
The CPSC says the minifridges’ internal electrical components can short circuit and ignite the surrounding plastic housing, posing fire and burn hazards.
Dig deeper:
The recall is for around 330,000 Curtis International 6-can minifridge model EFMIS121 which were sold at Target stores nationwide and online at Target.com.
In July 2024, 634,000 minifridges with model numbers EFMIS129, EFMIS137, EFMIS149 and EFMIS175 were recalled for the same issue.
The minifridges have "Frigidaire" printed on the front of the unit and consumers can find model and serial numbers on the back of the minifridge.
What you can do:
The CPSC says consumers should unplug the minifridge and cut the power cord and write "Recall" using a permanent marker on the front door of the unit.
