Paris Hilton Mini Fridge Recall Lawsuit | 2025 Latest Updates

What’s the Problem?

On September 11, 2025, Epoca International recalled about 110,000 Paris Hilton Mini Beauty Fridge units—including both 4-liter and 10-liter models—due to a defect in the electrical switch that can short circuit, overheat, and pose serious fire and burn hazards.

The recall covers units manufactured before August 2024 with certain model and serial number ranges. While no injuries have been reported, at least 27 overheating or fire incidents have been documented, along with damage to the units and surrounding surfaces.

Although we are not aware of any lawsuits filed against Epoca at this time, we are investigating potential legal claims arising from property damage, emotional distress, and financial losses related to use of these recalled mini fridges.
