Cooluli is recalling about 250,000 of its 10-liter and 15-liter minifridges, the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced on Thursday, Aug. 13. An electrical switch in the minifridges can short-circuit, posing fire and burn hazards.
There have been at least 19 reports of the minifridges "smoking, sparking, burning, melting, overheating or catching fire." One person reported a smoke inhalation injury, while the incidents caused more than $80,000 in property damage, according to the CPSC.
The recall covers certain 10-liter and 15-liter models in the Infinity, Classic, Glow Beauty, and Vibe series. They came in several colors, including black, blue, green, white, and red, along with multicolored patterns, photos, and logos.
The recalled minifridges were sold on Amazon and Cooluli's websites. They were available from January 2019 through October 2024 for between $80 and $120.
Owners should stop using the minifridges immediately and contact Cooluli for a free replacement DC power cord, along with a permanent sticker to cover the AC port. Customers with recalled units will be instructed to unplug the minifridge, cut the power cord, and submit photos showing the model and batch numbers.
