Lowe's (4), The Home Depot (4), Sears (2), Amazon (1), and Best Buy (1) are the stores named most often in the 22 notices that say where refrigerators were sold. 7 of the 22 notices mention online sales.
The 22 notices that give a price range from $60 to $7,700. Half of them name a price of $1,450 or less.
By the 22 notices that give sale dates, half the products were on sale for 3.5 years or less; the longest for 7 years. Half the recalls came within 4.5 years of the first sale; the other half reached products that had been on sale longer.
A repair in 12 of the 13 notices that name a remedy, a refund in 1, a replacement in 1. Some notices offer more than one.
