Freezer Safety Notes
The Refrigerator Safety Act requires household refrigerators to have a door mechanism, usually a magnetic latch, that lets the door be opened from the inside, so older latch-door units carelessly stored or discarded where children can reach them remain a suffocation hazard.

Keep the freezer at 0°F, leave a few inches of space around it for air circulation, and check that the door seals are airtight. Source: ENERGY STAR - Freezers
