Standard Refridgerator temperature?

Wow, if I set ours to "Coldest" it would freeze everything in the refridgerator compartment.

I'd say that definately isn't right. Ours is set just a little colder than "Normal", and I believe it hovers around 38 degrees.
 
When you say 40's, that's pretty broad. An even 40 would probably be ok, whereas 45 or 48 would be too high.
 
Keeping food safe requires keeping hot foods hot and cold foods cold. This may sound easy to do, but failure to follow this simple rule often is a factor in foodborne illness. Bacteria that cause foodborne illness multiply and grow at temperatures between 41°F and 140°F, which is known as the danger zone. Temperatures between 70°F and 120°F allow microorganisms to grow especially fast.
 
I would guess my refridgerator hovers right around 32 degrees. Some times water in it gets a little ice on top but the milk never freezes. Consider there is only milk and water in there I see no reason not to have it on the coldest setting.
 
Mine is about 34 degrees. I recently moved and it took a long time and several gallons of wasted milk to find the right setting ... on a scale from 1 to 9 I have to set it to 1.
 
They might as well just say, "If the food you eat from your refrigerator causes you to have your stomach pumped, you might want to make it a little colder."

My manual just says "If milk spoils it's too warm."
