Any person who discards or abandons or leaves in any place accessible to children any refrigerator, ice box, or deep freeze locker having a capacity of one and one-half feet or more, which is no longer in use, and which has not had the door removed or a portion of the latch mechanism removed to prevent latching or locking of the door, is guilty of a misdemeanor. Any owner, lessor, lessee, or manager who knowingly permits such unused refrigerator, ice box or deep freeze locker to remain on the premises under his control without having the door removed or a portion of the latch mechanism removed to prevent latching or locking of the door is guilty of a misdemeanor. Guilt of a violation of this paragraph of this section of this chapter shall not, in itself, render any person guilty of any crime against a person who may suffer death or injury from entrapment in such refrigerator, ice box or deep freeze locker.

Any person who keeps or stores refrigerators, ice boxes, or deep freeze lockers for the purpose of selling or offering them for sale shall not be guilty of a violation of this chapter if he takes reasonable precautions to effectively secure the door of any refrigerator, ice box or deep freeze locker held for purpose of sale so as to prevent entrance of any child or children small enough to fit into such articles. (Ord. 178 § 18, 1963)
