SMEG Retro Style Refrigerators Recall Class Action Lawsuit
On August 8, 2024, SMEG USA issued a recall for approximately 900 retro-style refrigerators sold from September 2020 through 2024. The fridges were sold at various appliance dealers nationwide and online at wayfair.com, ajmadison.com and williams-sonoma.com.
The products are under recall due to complaints of doors detaching from the refrigerator, which can cause serious injury to those standing in front or near the item. All of the recalled fridges have freezers on the bottom and measure 80 inches tall, 30 inches deep, and 25 inches wide. They were sold in cream, black, pastel blue, pastel green, white, and red under serial numbers that begin with 2781.
If you own one of these refrigerators, go to recall@smegusa.com for directions on how to receive a free repair of the item by emailing the company a photo of the model and serial number. However, this is not the best solution if you or a loved one was injured by the door falling off a SMEG retro-style refrigerator. We suggest that you contact our office and talk to a lawyer with experience in suing negligent product manufacturers. We look forward to hearing from you and fighting for the compensation you deserve.

It’s not something you think about on a regular basis, but the truth is, refrigerator doors are large and heavy objects. Items people normally have on refrigerator door shelves add to the overall weight and the impact if the door falls on your foot or another part of your body. Combined with hard surfaces and pointed corners, it’s not hard to see how people can be seriously injured from a fridge door that suddenly detaches.
Injuries from a SMEG refrigerator door that comes off include deep cuts, broken bones and fractures, and damage to the underlying tissues, which can cause permanent nerve damage. The door falling off can also make the user to fall backwards or sideways, resulting in traumatic brain injury, broken tailbone, joint dislocation, wrist or ankle sprains, and other kinds of bodily harm.
Injured by a Detaching Refrigerator Door – What Should I Do?The potential for serious injury means that medical attention should be your first and foremost priority in the event of an accident with a SMEG refrigerator door. In addition, make sure to:
- Keep all medical records and other documents related to how the accident has disrupted your life (proof of days lost from work, notes regarding insomnia, anxiety, and other mental health issues, witness statements, etc.).
- Contact SMEG to report the incident and the harm you’ve suffered. It’s likely that they will offer to repair the refrigerator door for free or offer another remedy, like a refund of the purchase price. Say no to these offers until you have spoken to a lawyer.
- Reach out to us for a free case evaluation, where you can learn about your rights and legal options.
