As each report says it, in short words; CPSC’s own words are under each.

The reports, as CPSC published them

Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

  1. Hospital admission

    Made Nov 11, 2022, sent to the company Nov 16, 2022, published by CPSC Dec 1, 2022

    The product, in the report: Samsung RF25HMEDBSG/AA Refrigerator. French Door

    Ice maker in refrigerator constantly freezes over, pours water inside the refrigerator, out the front onto the floor and down the back of the unit making this a fire and electrical shock hazard. A member of my family fell in the kitchen in the water from the leaking ice maker and required knee surgery.
