What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where injury has been reported (bruising and strains), but no deaths or serious injuries are documented, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for injury hazards without critical outcomes.
Plain-English summary
Liebherr-Hausgeraete Lienz GmbH is expanding a recall of approximately 8,000 freestanding 30-inch wide, bottom freezer refrigerators. The recall involves units sold individually or as side-by-side companion units in a stainless steel finish. The specific model and index numbers are listed in the official recall documentation.
The recall is being expanded because the refrigerator's door can detach, which poses an injury hazard to consumers. Liebherr has received 16 additional reports of doors detaching on these freestanding refrigerators, including two reports of injuries involving bruising and strains. The refrigerators were sold at appliance and specialty retailers nationwide from February 2004 through July 2009 for between $3,500 and $3,800.
Consumers with recalled refrigerators should contact Liebherr immediately to schedule a free in-home repair. Consumers should check their refrigerator immediately to see whether the door hinge pin has become loose, indicated by a popped up hinge pin at the top. If the hinge has not become loose and the door is functioning properly, consumers may continue to use the refrigerator until it is repaired. For additional information, consumers can contact Liebherr toll-free at (877) 337-2653 Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. MT or visit www.liebherr.us.
