Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20231118-A0809-2147343947. Matched catalog product: Samsung Flex Wash Model# WV60M990AV1A5 02. Source model text: samsung rf 28k9380sr/aa. Incident: Our Samsung flex door fridge, model # RF28k9380 SR/AA suddenly and abruptly stopped working. Both the fridge compartment and bottom freezer compartments stopped cooling. Per Samsung�s own designated service repair company, the issue was diagnosed to be a sealed system failure. The coolant/ refrigerant apparently has leaked out of the system. The technician was not able to pinpoint where the leakage occurred. The amount of refrigerant we may have ingested or/ and inhaled, the time frame and duration of exposure are all unknown at this point. The MSD for one of the more common refrigerant used in current home refrigerators clearly states inhalation of the �vapor may produce anesthetic effects, and feeling of euphoria. Prolonged overexposure can cause rapid breathing, headache, dizziness, narcosis, unconsciousness, and death from asphyxiation, depending on concentration and time of exposure�.
