Chest freezers
Publicado el 24 de octubre de 2000
Resumen
CPSC registra el retiro 01016, publicado el 24 de octubre de 2000. Empresa responsable: The Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) and its refrigerator/freezer manufacturing members; Unidades reportadas: Up to 9 million.
Qué peligro representa
Although some manufacturers had freezers that were in compliance prior to the 1970 standards, most old chest freezers have latches that can trap a child. Children playing "hide-and-seek" have found the non-working freezers a deadly place to hide. When the lid closes, children can become trapped inside and suffocate - usually in less than ten minutes.
Qué hacer
Consumers should properly dispose of these non-working freezers immediately or disable the latch, if disposal is impossible. Even if a consumer has a pre-1970 chest freezer that is working, they should still call the toll-free number to get information on what to do, when the freezer is no longer working.
