Commercial Freezers Used in Grocery Stores Recalled
About 960 Fricon Upright Freezers are being recalled because the controller of the freezer is incompatible with the unit and can overheat and melt the relay, posing a fire hazard.
Unilever, the importer of the freezers, has to date received 4 reports of fires, resulting in damage to the unit and/or displayed product.
This recall involves the Fricon commercial one-door upright freezers with model number VCV1V. These freezers are typically used in grocery stores and other commercial settings. The model number is found either on a label located in the upper, right corner on the back of the unit or on a label located inside the unit on the lower left side.
The freezers were leased for Unilever distributors nationwide from May 2007 through March 2009 for about $105/year per unit.
