Old Freezers and Child Safety
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.

Chest freezers are usually more efficient than uprights because their top-opening lid lets less cold air escape. Source: ENERGY STAR - Freezers
