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 the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
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.
