Latest Paris Hilton Mini Fridge Recall Updates
September 11, 2025: Epoca Begins the Voluntary Recall
On September 11, 2025, Epoca began a voluntary recall of about 110,000 Paris Hilton Mini Beauty Fridges in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The CPSC notice lists recall number 25-459 [1].
The notice cites reports of overheating and fire, no injuries, and a refund remedy. The company’s own notice of the same recall is on Epoca’s recall page [2].
Which Paris Hilton Mini Fridges Are Affected?
The recall covers six Paris Hilton Mini Beauty Fridge models, listed here by size, color and serial number:
- 10-liter Pink, PH11887, with serial numbers that begin with 2024
- 10-liter White, PH11887-1, with serial numbers that begin with 2024

The notice says only units made before August 2024 with these serial numbers are included. Find the model and serial numbers on the label, on the back of a 4-liter fridge or the bottom of a 10-liter fridge.
Why Were the Paris Hilton Mini Fridges Recalled?
The Paris Hilton Mini Fridges were recalled because the electrical switch can short circuit, causing the unit to overheat, posing a fire and burn hazard.
That is CPSC’s wording of the hazard in its notice, titled Epoca International Recalls Paris Hilton Mini Beauty Fridges Due to Fire and Burn Hazards.
Epoca’s recall page, headed Important Voluntary Safety Recall, says the company identified a potential safety hazard with respect to an electric switch used in the product, which can short circuit and overheat.
Epoca initiated the voluntary recall in cooperation with CPSC. Neither the CPSC notice nor Epoca’s recall page states a root cause beyond the switch.
Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses
The CPSC notice says the firm is aware of 27 reports of the mini fridge overheating and catching on fire. No injuries have been reported, according to the notice and Epoca’s recall page.
Property damage has included damage to the unit and surrounding surfaces. The two sources describe the reports in different terms: Epoca’s page speaks of property damage, and the notice speaks of overheating and fire.
Reports describe what was said to have happened. They are not proof that the fridge caused every incident. You can report a dangerous product or a product-related injury to CPSC at SaferProducts.gov [3].
What Should Consumers Do?
Take these steps if your fridge is one of the recalled models:
- Stop using the fridge right away and unplug the unit.
- Check the label and compare its model and serial numbers with the recalled models listed above.
- Register for the recall at www.epoca.com/minifridgerecall and fill out the online form.
- Cut the power cords, then write RECALL and the date on the front door with a permanent marker, as Epoca’s recall page directs.
- Submit three photographs: the marked door, the label showing the model and serial number, and the cut, unplugged cord. Epoca asks that each photo show a paper with your name and contact information.
- Discard the fridge according to local and state regulations.
- Contact Epoca International at 888-262-3905, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday, or at recall@epoca.com. To report a problem to CPSC, call its Hotline at 800-638-2772.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Keep Using a Paris Hilton Mini Fridge Whose Serial Number Is Not Listed?
You can keep using a Paris Hilton mini fridge whose serial number is not listed, according to Epoca’s recall page, which says units with unlisted serial numbers are safe and can continue to be used. That statement comes from Epoca. It is not a CPSC finding.
How Do I Get a Refund for the Paris Hilton Mini Beauty Fridge Recall?
You get a refund for the Paris Hilton mini beauty fridge recall by registering with Epoca. Epoca says units verified from your photos get the full price up to $30 (4-liter) or $60 (10-liter) with proof of purchase from the last 12 months, or $18 or $36 without it.
What Happens After I Register for the Recall?
What happens after you register for the recall is that Epoca reviews your registration and photos. If they are valid, it sends the refund by electronic check to the email address you gave. Refunds are only available for affected units that can be verified from your photos.
Should I Cut the Power Cords If My Fridge Is Not on the Recall List?
Do not cut the power cords if the fridge is not on the recall list. Epoca says not to cut the cords to register if the serial number is not in the listed range.
What Is the Product Name in the Paris Hilton Mini Fridge Recall?
The product name in the Paris Hilton mini fridge recall is Paris Hilton Mini Beauty Fridges, according to the CPSC notice. Paris Hilton branding is on the door, in the lower right corner on most units and in the top middle on some units.
