Yes, you read right! According to the website, Did You Know Facts, Refrigerator doors now have magnetic latches because children used to die inside them.

Before the refrigerator safety acts in 1956, the doors could only be opened by pulling the handle from the outside.

This action resulted in the death of many kids who got trapped inside abandoned refrigerators playing hide-and-seek.
