IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators and
freezers 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
Refrigerator or Freezer:
Take off the doors or lid.

Leave the shelves in place so that

children may not easily climb inside.
