Bar fridge problem

[Brooklin]

Not quite a home repair question.

We have a small bar fridge at work. The other day we set about to defrost it. We unplugged it and sat it outside the back door to thaw a bit. We got a little impatient and took a screwdriver and hammer to it and immediately punctured the freezer compartment side with the tubes of refrigerant (cfc-12). We may have breathed a little bit of the stuff.

1. How long do we have to live?
2. I assume without refrigerant, our bar fridge is nothing more than a small white locker.

Thanks.

Not enough for the slightest concern.

Hi,

Ooops!!

Do you smoke? Do you exercise? The refrigerant gas will not harm you by breathing in some.

Own a boat?....cause you have a great boat anchor!

I don't know about that. The insulation may make it a god marker bouy....
