Mini-fridge fires lead to over 100,000 recalls

  • Epoca International has recalled approximately 110,000 Paris Hilton Mini Beauty Fridges due to a fire and burn hazard.
  • The recall affects 4-liter and 10-liter models, sold at retailers like Walmart and Ross, and online from November 2022 through July 2025.
  • The hazard is caused by an electric switch that can short-circuit, leading to overheating and potential fires.
  • There have been 27 reported incidents of the mini-fridges overheating and catching fire, resulting in damage to the units and surrounding surfaces, though no injuries have been reported.
  • Consumers are urged to immediately stop using the recalled products and can obtain a full refund via electronic cheque by submitting an online form to Epoca International.
