Electrolux Group has issued a recall for 383,240 Frigidaire-branded side-by-side refrigerators with slim ice buckets manufactured between 2015 and 2019 due to potential hazards related to choking and lacerations, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced. 

The recall arises from the possibility of the ice bucket assembly breaking, leading to plastic pieces entering the ice bucket. 

Consumers are urged to immediately cease using the ice makers and contact Electrolux Group for a replacement ice bucket assembly component, which will be provided free of charge.

The affected model numbers include:

DGHK2355TF, DGHX2655TF, FFSC2323TS, FGSC2335TD, FGSC2335TF, FGSS2635TD, FGSS2635TE, FGSS2635TF, FGSS2635TP, FPSC2277RF, FPSC2278UF, FPSS2677RF, LFSC2324VF, LGHK2336TD, LGHK2336TF, LGHX2636TD, and LGHX2636TF. 

Consumers can verify if their refrigerator is impacted by visiting the Frigidaire website.

Electrolux Group has received 343 reports of plastic pieces breaking off, with two incidents resulting in injuries due to laceration and ingestion when the pieces were dispensed out of the ice bucket. 

The affected units were sold at various retailers nationwide and online at Frigidaire.com between November 2015 and September 2019, with prices ranging from $1,400 to $2,400. 

Electrolux Home Products Inc., based in Charlotte, North Carolina, is the importer of these refrigerators, which were manufactured in Mexico.
