ABC News • • business
Key Points:
- Curtis International has expanded its recall of Frigidaire-branded minifridges in the U.S. to include approximately 964,000 units after multiple fire incidents were reported.
- The latest recall adds 330,000 units of model EFMIS121, sold exclusively at Target, to the previous recall of about 634,000 units from last year involving models EFMIS129, EFMIS137, EFMIS149, and EFMIS175.
- The recalled minifridges have electrical components prone to short-circuiting and igniting the plastic casing, leading to fire risks and potential burns; six fire incidents have been reported for the new recall and 26 for the earlier one.
