LG pays price for power-hungry fridges Updated - 18/3/2010 - abc news online.
Life is not so good for the global electronics manufacturer LG after it was caught out overstating the energy efficiency of some of its refrigerators. The company told PM its actions have affected more than 1,000 Australian customers. It has apologised and promised compensation for any extra running costs. LG has now gone further to offer either a replacement fridge or a full refund to dissatisfied customers. Consumer watchdog Choice blew the whistle on LG when routine testing found the fridges needed 20 per cent more power to run than their advertised levels. Until the end of last year, LG was selling two fridge models in Australia which did not do what the electronics company said they would do. The fridges also slipped into energy-saving mode when they were not meant to.
