The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Viking Range Corporation have announced a voluntary recall of Viking built-in 48-inch side-by-side refrigerator/freezers and built-in 36-inch refrigerators with bottom freezers.
"Viking has received 57 reports of doors detaching, including four reports of injuries involving bruises, broken toes/fingers, and strains, and minor damage to floors and counters."
The recalled refrigerators sold for between $4,725 and $6,400 from July 1999 through April 2006.
Free-standing models and the 42-inch models are not involved in the recall, and only certain model numbers and serial numbers, affecting about 45,000 units, are involved.
To determine if your refrigerator was recalled, check the model number and serial number on the official CPSC recall notice at the CPSC web site.

That is a lot of money to pay for a poorly built refrigerator. Just goes to show you that price is not everything. You can pay 6K or a lemon...
