FD mini fridge recall (fire risk)

[cfz2882]

Micro fridges actually-little peltier cooled plastic desktop toy fridges that hold a few cans of soda. Hundreds of thousands of these chinese made things under recall...

They are also horribly inefficient.
Most of them use more power than a standard fridge of much larger capacity.

I saw that on my local news yesterday.
More china garbage.

Found some pics of these micro fridges and it looked like the detachable power cord socket at back are arc-faulting out. While looking, discovered recent full size Frigidaire are "catching fire": emitting smoke when PTC device/start cap plugged onto compressor burns up...
