How important is consumer product safety to Whirlpool Corporation?
In 1996, Whirlpool was recognized for its commitment to safety by being awarded the CPSC Chairman’s Commendation for Significant Contributions to Product Safety. Whirlpool pioneered the development of magnetic closures on refrigerator doors designed to dramatically reduce the number of child entrapments. “I can think of no company more deserving than Whirlpool” said Ann Brown, CPSC Chairman.
