What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The source reports three confirmed freezer fires, which constitutes reported property-damage and significant risk-of-harm incidents. Although no injuries have been reported, fire hazards with documented fire incidents meet the Severe threshold.
