As students prepare to head off to college, many will be gathering their dorm room essentials, including a mini fridge. However, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued a warning about 634,000 Frigidaire mini fridges that are being recalled due to fire and burn hazards.
The safety concern has arisen over the mini fridges’ internal electrical components, which can short-circuit and ignite the surrounding plastic housing, posing fire and burn hazards.
