What to do if you own this product
What is the hazard with Frigidaire-brand Minifridges, model EFMIS121, with limited serial numbers?
Frigidaire-brand Minifridges, model EFMIS121, with limited serial numbers (ShangYu North Electron Manufacture Co. Ltd., of China) was announced earlier this year, 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.
