What to do if you own this product
What is the hazard with Frigidaire-brand Minifridges, models EFMIS129, EFMIS137, EFMIS149 and EFMIS175, limited to the listed serial numbers?
Frigidaire-brand Minifridges, models EFMIS129, EFMIS137, EFMIS149 and EFMIS175, limited to the listed serial numbers (ShangYu North Electron Manufacture Co. Ltd., of China) was announced in a previous recall cycle, in the "Other" category. The minifridges' internal electrical components can short circuit and ignite the surrounding plastic housing, posing fire and burn hazards. That is the hazard as reported publicly by the firm and the regulator; it does not necessarily mean every unit has failed.
