Widely Sold Mini Fridge Has Been Recalled Due To Fire Risk

We have definitely become a society of convenience. For those of us that are a little older (by a little, I mean a lot), we can remember a time when there was only 1 television in the house, the phone was wired to the wall, and it hung in the kitchen or the living room and most extravagant thing we had in our bedrooms was a stereo.

My how things have changed. Now we’ve got TV’s in practically every room, and we carry our phones around in our pockets. Another way we take care of ourselves is with the modern convenience of mini fridges, the smaller refrigerators that hold six cans of your favorite beverage.  

These work great for your kids in their bedrooms, or at your desk at work. If you have one of these, there’s one kind that has just been recalled. 

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission reported late last week that the AstroAI “4 liter 6 can” mini fridge because of a fire hazard. The report says that electrical switch can short out, which creates the potential for a fire or burn risks. 

There have been over 70 cases of this product smoking, burning, melting or catching fire. There have also been two cases of fires that caused over $360,000 in damage. The model number of the recalled fridge is LY0204A.  

If you own one of these, you should stop using this miniature unit immediately and contact AstroAI for a replacement unit. The company wants a picture of the model number, serial number and the word “RECALL” written on the unit in permanent marker.  

You can email the picture to recall@astroai.com to begin the process of getting a replacement. There were over 249,000 of these units sold between June 2019 and June 2022.
