This recall affects model numbers EFMIS129, EFMIS137, EFMIS149, and EFMIS175 and only the units with serial numbers ranging between A2001 to A2312, excluding model numbers containing “EFMIS129-B” or “EFMIS129-C.” About 634,000 fridges were sold at Walmart and other stores, and online at Walmart.com and Amazon.com, from January 2020 through December 2023. Unplug these recalled minifridges, cut the power cord, and write “Recall” on the front door with a permanent marker.
