Emergency room Made Jul 12, 2011, published by CPSC Aug 3, 2011
The product, in the report: ENERGISK B18 W Refrigerator/freezer, white $349.00 Article Number: 602.027.69 Width: 28 “ Depth: 32 7/8 “ Height: 68 “
I was cleaning the interior of my IKEA Energisk B18 W refrigerator/freezer when I suffered a laceration on my middle and ring fingers. The compartments of the refrigerator door are sectioned off by metal bars, and the bars are constructed by folding the edges of a flat sheet of metal over approximately one inch on the top and bottom. The edges of the folded metal are extremely sharp, and cut through both the paper towel I was using to wipe the fridge and my skin. The laceration required emergency care, as it bled profusely and was jagged. The laceration on my middle finger required three sutures to repair.
