Cooluli is recalling about 250,000 minifridges after receiving at least 19 reports of the appliances smoking, sparking, burning, melting, overheating or catching fire, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The recall covers certain 10-liter and 15-liter Cooluli minifridges because an electrical switch can short circuit, posing fire and burn hazards, the CPSC said.
Cooluli has received reports of property damage totaling more than $80,000. One consumer also reported a smoke inhalation injury, according to the agency.
The affected minifridges were sold online at Amazon.com and Cooluli.com from January 2019 through October 2024 for between $80 and $120.

The recall includes certain minifridges from Cooluli’s Infinity, Classic, Glow Beauty and Vibe series. The affected products have an internal power supply and two power input ports, AC and DC, on the back instead of a single DC port.
The recalled minifridges were sold in several colors, including black, blue, green, white and red, as well as designs featuring multicolored patterns, photos and logos. “Cooluli” is printed on the front.
The recall covers batch numbers 1535 through 1545 and 1200000 through 1202080. Consumers can find the model and batch numbers on a label inside the minifridge door.
The CPSC urged consumers to stop using the recalled minifridges immediately and contact Cooluli for a free replacement power cord.

Consumers will be asked to enter their model and batch numbers on Cooluli’s recall website to determine whether their minifridge is affected. Those with recalled units will be instructed to unplug the minifridge, cut the power cord and submit photos showing the refrigerator’s model and batch numbers.
Cooluli will provide affected consumers with a replacement DC power cord and a permanent sticker to cover the AC port, according to the CPSC.
