Laura Clery Pinned by 600‑Pound Refrigerator in Near‑Fatal Home Accident

She says the appliance was not properly mounted, prompting her to threaten legal action.

Overview

  • Clery disclosed the ordeal in social posts published May 22, saying a 600‑pound fridge toppled and pinned her against a counter several weeks earlier.
  • She said she could not move or breathe but dialed 911 from her phone in her pocket and was freed when three firefighters lifted the appliance.
  • Emergency responders took her to a trauma center and she shared photos from the ambulance and hospital showing a neck brace and IVs; she has since been discharged and is recovering at home.
  • Clery says the fridge fell because it was not properly mounted and has accused the installers of negligence, with her ex‑husband reporting missing screws on recent work and Clery threatening to sue.
  • Her posts note that her two young children witnessed the incident and were deeply shaken, and the episode has drawn both support and criticism for her sharing of ambulance and hospital footage while it unfolded.
