Well, that fact is that kids DO get trapped in old refrigerators. The
rest is details.

Has this actually happened since the 50s when they stopped putting
locking latches on the door? These stories always seemed involve EMPTY
fridges, not ones with all the shelves and bins in them.
Why is a fridge outside more dangerous than the one in the kitchen,
basement or garage.

If the fridge is plugged in, the toddler-meat should stay fresh for a good
while.

Ok, so a kid gets trapped. Either it was too young to be left unsupervised
or too dumb to live. Either way, give it a Darwin Award and move on.

IK so you linked a CPSC article about a 1956 law and a 21 year old
accident report involving an abandoned refrigerator. Where is the
article about a suffocation accident involving an "in use"
refrigerator?

Reread the OP's question, especially about the age of the fridge in
question, and that he wanted to leave it outside all year long with the
door open.
