Proper Disposal of Your Old Freezer or Refrigerator
IMPORTANT:
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems
of the past. Junked or abandoned freezers or refrigerators are still
dangerous — even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are
getting rid of your old refrigerator or freezer, please follow these
instructions to help prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Freezer or Refrigerator:
■
Take off the doors or lid.
■
Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily
climb inside.
