REFRIGERATOR SAFETY
Proper Disposal of
Your Old Refrigerator
DANGER: Risk of child entrapment. Before You Throw
Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:
Take off the doors.
■
Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily
■
climb inside.
WARNING
Suffocation Hazard
Remove doors from your old refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death or
brain damage.
IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still
dangerous—even if they will sit for "just a few days." If you are
getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions
to help prevent accidents.
