RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:

• Take off the doors.

climb inside.

problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are
still dangerous... even if they will sit for “just a few days.”

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.

IMPORTANT:

Now that you have a new
appliance, it is extremely
important that you dispose of
your old appliance in a way that
minimizes the possibility that
children will find it. There have
been many cases in years past
of children crawling inside
junked and abandoned
refrigerators and becoming
trapped or suffocated.

Contact your municipal waste
disposal authority to find out
the best and safest way to
dispose of your old unit.
