BREAKING NEWS: Paris Hilton's Mini Beauty Fridge Line Sparks Controversy and Fears of Fire Hazards!

The once-beloved mini beauty fridge line from none other than socialite and entrepreneur Paris Hilton has been hit with a massive recall, affecting as many as 110,000 units! The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued an urgent recall notice on September 11, warning consumers that the fridges could overheat and catch fire.

Consumers have spoken out about their terrifying experiences with the mini fridges, leaving a trail of one-star reviews and a slew of complaints. One reviewer woke up to the sound of fire alarms blaring, only to discover that their daughter's mini fridge had caught her nightstand on fire! Another review revealed a house fire caused by the product, prompting the reviewer to warn: "Buyer beware!"

The Issue Lies in the Electrical Switch
