Letter: Cool arsenal

Published 5 June 1999

From Linda Fowler

I’ve enjoyed Feedback’s regular “product warning” stories and was delighted
to come across this whilst turning out a kitchen drawer today. It was in the
instruction book for our 34-year-old Bosch fridge and came at the end of the
installation and connection instructions on the first page:

“It certainly goes without saying that your refrigerator must not serve for
storing explosives.”

Fortunately, I obeyed this instruction, which is probably why the fridge has
lasted so long.
