SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20250726-A8801-2147329221. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Frigidaire EFMIS129-BLACK. Source model text: EFMIS129-B. Incident: I received a recall notice on the Frigidaire min-fridge bought on Amazon. When I typed in my model number it said that my model number was not included in the recall. Problem is I was just about to call the manufacturer because my min-fridge is also over heating and the fan is making an intense vibrating noise.

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20250726-18E35-2147329226. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Frigidaire EFMIS129-BLACK. Source model text: Model EFMIS129-B. Incident: Our Frigidaire mini fridge started to smell like burning plastic while running with just a couple of small items in it on a table. The smell overtook the room and we traced it to the mini fridge, so immediately turned it off and have not used it since. Today I received notification from Amazon that it had been recalled, but when I went to apply for the refund, I was told my model number is not affected by the recall. I believe that it should be recalled, because if we had been sleeping or not home when we noticed the burning smell from the mini fridge it could have ended up much worse.

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20241119-482E8-2147335178. Severity: No Incident, No Injury. Product: Frigidaire EFMIS129-BLACK (Frigidaire 0.3ncu.ft. 6 -Can Retro Mini Fridge in Black). Incident: I purchased a Frigidaire Mini fridge for my son on December 3, 2022 from Home Depot. It worked well. On November 9 of this year I noticed it wasn't running. I looked to see if it was on and noticed the power switch is charred and the item no longer works. It appears that there were some type of sparks around the power switch based on the color of the surrounding area. This was sitting in front of a lamp with a paper lamp shade and could have caused a fire in my son's room. I contacted Frigidaire to let them know that this is a safety issue. A lot of children have these in their bedrooms. They responded with a form email letting me know that I was out of warranty. I was not asking Frigidaire for compensation or to have the product replaced. I did have a warranty through Home Depot and they are planning to refund me the purchase price of the item. I care more about it being a safety issue as lot of kids have these.
