A recall has been issued for approximately 250,000 Cooluli minifridges following warnings that an electrical fault could trigger fires or cause severe burns. A notice released on Thursday by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission highlighted that the affected "10-Liter" and "15-Liter" appliances feature an internal switch susceptible to short-circuiting.
Explaining the issue on its website, Cooluli stated, "On some older units, the selector switch that toggles between Cooling and Warming modes can overheat." According to the CPSC, the manufacturer has so far logged a minimum of 19 complaints involving units smoking, sparking, melting, burning, overheating, or bursting into flames.
