Cooluli Minifridges are being recalled because they pose a fire and burn hazard. The electrical switch can short circuit, potentially causing a fire. The company has received at least 19 reports 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. The manufacturer is Ningbo Iceberg Electronic Appliance Company of China, and the importer is Lisse USA of Brooklyn, New York. The mini fridges were manufactured in China.
This recall is for 10-Liter and 15-Liter Cooluli minifridges with an internal power supply and two power input ports (AC and DC) on the back of the minifridge, instead of a single DC port. The removable power cord on the recalled minifridges does not have a “brick” power adapter (as is commonly used with laptop chargers). “Cooluli” is printed on the front of the minifridges.
They were sold in a variety of colors including black, blue, green, white, and red or with multicolored patterns, photos, and logos. The recall includes batch numbers 1535 through 1545 and 1200000 through 1202080. The model (ITEM #:) and batch numbers are printed on a label on the inside of the minifridge door. The minifridges were sold in the Infinity, Classic, Glow Beauty and Vibe Series.
About 250000 of these appliances were sold in the United States. You can see more pictures of the recalled products at the Consumer Product Safety Commission web site.
The minifridges were sold at Amazon and the company’s website from January 2019 through October 2024. They cost between $80 and $120.
