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:

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

been many cases in years past
of children crawling inside
junked and abandoned
refrigerators and becoming
trapped or suffocated.
Contact your municipal waste
