The Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a major recall involving a popular refrigerator brand.

Electrolux is recalling more than 380,000 of its Frigidaire side-by-side refrigerators with slim ice buckets.

The CPSC says the ice bucket assembly components can break causing plastic pieces to enter the buckets which can pose a potential choking or laceration hazard.

Electrolux says they've had at least 343 such incidents reported.

According to CPSC, the recall applies to those refrigerators made between 2015 and 2019.  

For more information, contact Electrolux Group toll-free at 888-377-7563 from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, by email at IceBucketRecall@electrolux.com or online at www.icebucketrecall.com or at www.frigidaire.com.
