More than 7,000 fridges sold in Canada and 360,000 in the U.S. have been recalled due to a choking hazard from the ice maker.

According to Health Canada, the products affected are Electrolux Frigidaire ice makers - in certain side-by-side refrigerators and Electrolux four-door refrigerators – were sold between April 2020 and March 2022 at the likes of Lowe’s, Home Depot and Canadian Appliance Source.

The federal authority says the ice maker’s ice level detector arm can potentially break into pieces and fall into the ice bucket, posing a choking hazard.
