Why Were the AstroAI Minifridges Recalled?
The AstroAI minifridges were recalled because the electrical switch can short circuit, posing fire and burn hazards. AstroAI Corp., of Garden Grove, California, imported the recalled minifridges and announced the recall with CPSC.
Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses
CPSC has received at least 70 reports of the minifridges smoking, burning, melting or catching fire. Two fires caused more than $360,000 in reported property damage. No injuries are reported.
Reports are not proof that the minifridge caused every incident. In Canada, AstroAI had received no reports as of July 10, 2025. Health Canada asks consumers to report incidents through its online form.
What Should Consumers Do?
Follow these steps to get your free replacement:
- Stop using the minifridge immediately.
- Check the label on the back for the model and serial number.
- Take a photo of the unit showing the model and serial number, with Recalled written on it in permanent marker.
- Email the photo to recall@astroai.com or use the online portal on the AstroAI recall page [3].
- Call AstroAI toll-free at 877-278-7624, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT, Monday through Friday.
- Report problems with the remedy to CPSC through its recall complaint form.
Legal Options
If a fire, burn or property loss affected you, keep the unit, photos, receipts and reports. A recall does not automatically establish liability, and no settlement or verdict exists. A lawyer can review your situation and explain your options.
