The 22-page lawsuit was filed after more than 249,000 AstroAI four-liter/six-can mini-fridges were recalled by the company on June 18, 2025. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announcement, the products were recalled because an electrical switch in the wiring system can short circuit, causing the mini-fridge to overheat during use.

The CPSC says it has received at least 70 reports of the products smoking, melting, burning or catching fire, with two incidents causing fires and significant property damage.

Per the June 18 announcement, the recalled products include units with a model number of LY0204A and a nine-digit serial number that begins with “S/N” followed by 19, 20, 21, 2201, 2202 or 2203. The mini-fridges were manufactured between June 2019 and June 2022 and retailed for approximately $40, the class action suit states.

The AstroAI mini-fridge recall lawsuit contends that the manufacturer failed to adequately disclose the dangerous fire risk plaguing the products. Indeed, consumers who purchased the mini-fridge reasonably believed that it would function safely and had no way of knowing it could overheat and pose a burn hazard, the case alleges.

The complaint argues that consumers would not have paid as much for the allegedly defective fridge, or bought it at all, had they been aware of the apparent fire risk.

As of the date of the recall announcement, the manufacturer is not offering refunds to consumers but will instead provide replacement mini-fridges to those who contact the company, the CPSC website states.

The lawsuit looks to represent all individuals in the United States who purchased an AstroAI four-liter/six-can mini-fridge, model number LY0204A, at any time during the applicable statute of limitations period.
