The latest recall of Frigidaire retro mini-fridges has put a damper on the start of the new year. Target stores nationwide have been affected by this expansion, with over 300,000 additional units being pulled from shelves. The recall, originally prompted by a safety hazard, has now pushed the total number of affected units close to one million, potentially posing fire and burn hazards due to internal electrical component issues.
Consumers are urged to check their units at home, specifically looking for the model number EFMIS121 with serial numbers between A2001 and A2310, the only red units sold at Target that are affected by this latest recall expansion. Those with other colored units need not worry, unless otherwise notified. This recall adds to previous recalls of mini fridges with model numbers EFMIS129, EFMIS137, EFMIS149, and EFMIS175, sold at Walmart and Amazon, where red, black, and blue units were affected.
For those who have purchased the recalled mini fridges, it is essential to stop using them immediately, unplug the unit, cut the power cord, and mark “recall” on the front door for safety. Customers can register for a refund at recallrtr.com/minifridge and dispose of the unit in accordance with local and state regulations.
