IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and
suffocation are not problems of the
past. Junked or abandoned
refrigerators are still dangerous –
even if they sit out 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 children
may not easily climb
inside.
