Curtis International has expanded its recall to include about 330,000 Frigidaire-brand 6-can minifridges (model EFMIS121) because internal electrical components can short circuit. This defect can cause the plastic housing to ignite, leading to fires and property damage. The company has already received at least six reports of these specific models catching fire. These units were sold in red exclusively at Target stores and online from January 2020 through October 2023.
The internal wiring can short circuit and ignite the surrounding plastic, posing a fire and burn risk. At least six fires involving property damage have been reported with this specific model.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled minifridges and follow the instructions to register for a refund at www.recallrtr.com/minifridge. Consumers should unplug and cut the power cord and write "Recall" using a permanent marker on the front door of the unit. Consumers should dispose of the recalled minifridges in accordance with local and state regulations.
This is an expansion of a previous recall which included model numbers EFMIS129, EFMIS137, EFMIS149 and EFMIS175.
