Important Recall Notice: Cooluli Minifridges Pose Fire Hazard - Free Repair Options Available
A recall has been initiated for around 250,000 Cooluli minifridges due to concerns about a potential electrical issue that could lead to fires or serious injuries. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a warning about the "10-Liter" and "15-Liter" models, which have an internal switch that may short-circuit, as stated on Cooluli's website. The manufacturer has received at least 19 complaints about units smoking, sparking, melting, burning, overheating, or catching fire, resulting in over $80,000 in property damage and one case of smoke inhalation.
The affected minifridges were sold through Amazon and Cooluli's official website between January 2019 and October 2024, with prices ranging from $80 to $120. The recall specifically targets certain 10-Liter and 15-Liter models that have an internal power setup. Cooluli assured customers that newer models with external power supplies are not affected by the recall. To address the issue, the company is offering free repair options. Owners can check their unit's model number on the company's website and, if affected, follow instructions to disconnect the power cable and provide photo evidence to receive a replacement kit.
Customers are strongly advised to stop using the recalled minifridges immediately to prevent any potential safety hazards. If you own one of the affected models, visit Cooluli's website for more information on how to address the issue and receive a free replacement kit.
