Incident narrative
SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20231106-F65CB-2147344172. Matched catalog product: LG LFDS22520S ASTCNA4. Source model text: LFDS2252SOS/01. Incident: I have an LG french door, bottom freezer Model #LFDS22520S that is 5 yrs old last month. In mid Sept. 2022 we started finding small bits of plastic in our drinks as the ice melted. I contacted LG customer service and they offered suggestions like changing the water filter. This did not work. Problem continued and I ended up replacing the ice maker. When I replaced it I was able to see that the coasting inside the tray was peeling away and assumed this was the cause. Now a year later I am having the same problem. I believe there should be a recall on this part. Who knows the health issues involved in swallowing these bits.
