[HISTORY: Adopted by the City Council of the City of Rahway 7-9-1984
by Ord. No. A-12-84 as Ch. 125 of the 1984 Code. Amendments
noted where applicable.]
It is hereby found and declared that instances have been reported in
other cities of death due to suffocation of children in abandoned, unattended
iceboxes, refrigerators and other containers having airtight doors which,
when closed, cannot be opened from the inside and that such abandoned, unattended
or discarded iceboxes, refrigerators and other containers are a constant menace
to the health, welfare and safety of children in the city.
It shall be unlawful for any person to leave within or without any building
in the city, in a place accessible to children, any abandoned, discarded or
unattended icebox, refrigerator or similar container of any kind which has
a locking or closing device thereon that cannot be released for opening from
the inside of such icebox, refrigerator or similar container; provided, however,
that this section shall not apply if such closing or locking device, or the
door or doors from such icebox, refrigerator or similar container, are first
removed.
[Amended 7-9-1984 by Ord. No. A-12-84]
Any person who violates any of the provisions of this chapter shall,
upon conviction thereof, be subject to a fine not exceeding $500 or imprisonment
for a period not exceeding 90 days, or both. A separate offense shall be deemed
committed on each day during or on which a violation occurs or continues.
