Refrigerators recalled for choking hazard from ice maker

(Gray News) - Frigidaire and Electrolux side-by-side, top freezer and multi-door refrigerator models have been recalled for a choking hazard involving a part from the ice maker.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said in a news release Thursday that the ice level detector arm in the ice maker can break into pieces and fall in the ice bucket.

The agency said people should immediately stop using the recalled refrigerator ice makers, empty the ice bucket and contact Electrolux to schedule a technician to replace the ice maker with one that has a polypropylene ice level detector, free of charge.

The company reported it has received 185 reports of the ice level detectors breaking, including one report of gum lacerations, the CPSC stated.

The recall includes 367,500 refrigerators in the U.S. and another 7,180 sold in Canada. They were sold at Lowe’s, Home Depot and appliance stores nationwide, as well as online at Frigidaire.com from April 2020 through March 2022 for between $1,200 and $4,300.

The brand name, model and serial number for each unit is printed on a label on the right panel in the interior of the refrigerator compartment. The refrigerators range from 23 to 36 inches wide.
