DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems

of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are

still dangerous…even if they will sit 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 and discard separately.

Leave the shelves in place so that children may not

easily climb inside.

If the refrigerator has a lock, make it unusable.

CFC Disposal

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system

that used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are

believed to harm stratospheric ozone.
If you are throwing away your old refrigerator,

make sure the CFC refrigerant is removed for

proper disposal by a qualified servicer. If you

intentionally release this CFC refrigerant you

can be subject to fines and imprisonment under

provisions of environmental legislation.
