Attention, college students: 250,000 minifridges recalled as fire hazards

The problem, as described in the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recall notice, is “The recalled minifridges’ electrical switches can short circuit, posing fire and burn hazards.”

And, Cooluli knows of at least 19 occasions of “the minifridges smoking, sparking, burning, melting, overheating or catching fire, resulting in property damages totaling more than $80,000. One consumer reported a smoke inhalation injury.”

These minifridges came in multicolored patterns, green, pink, black, blue, white and red and were sold on Amazon.com as well as the Cooluli website. Check for batch numbers 1535 through 1545 or 1200000 through 1202080 on a label inside the door.

If you have one of these refrigerators, stop using them and reach out to Cooluli either online; by emailing [email protected]; or by calling 718-834-5312, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern time. You’ll receive instructions on how to get a free replacement power cord.
