Viking Recalls Built-In Refrigerators
About 45,000 Viking Built-In Side-by-Side Refrigerator/Freezers and Refrigerators with Bottom Freezers are being recalled because the refrigerator's doors can detach, posing an injury hazard to consumers.
Viking has received about 57 reports of doors detaching, including 4 reports of injuries involving bruises, broken toes/fingers, and strains. Also, several incidents of minor damage to floors and counters have been reported.
This recall involves Viking built-in 48-inch wide side-by-side refrigerator/freezers and the built-in 36-inch wide refrigerators with bottom freezers. The refrigerators come in stainless steel and various colors and wood finishes and are built into the kitchen cabinetry. "Viking" is written on the front of the refrigerator. The model and serial numbers are located either behind the produce drawer or on the ceiling of the interior of the refrigerators. The 42-inch wide or freestanding refrigerators are not included in this recall.
The refrigerators were sold at appliance and specialty retailers nationwide from July 1999 through April 2006 for between $4,725 and $6,400.
