“Thank you for reaching out to GE Appliances!

We have voluntarily decided to identify, reduce and eliminate to the extent possible materials of concern from our appliance products and parts, even when not required by regulation. We do not comment specifically on product content, which is confidential, however our processes help ensure that all GE Appliance products meet applicable hazardous substances requirements and our own product safety and environmental standards.
