Reported: January 25, 2007 Initiated: January 25, 2007 #07088

Product Description

The recalled trunks are leather bound and have a handle on each side, and a clasp on the front. The trunks are burgundy or brown and are sold in three sizes: small, medium and large. The following catalog numbers were used to identify the product: Product Name Sizes Catalog Number Large 24"H x 36"W x 20"D 3755910150 Medium 20"H x 30"W x 16"D 3755905150 Small 16"H x 23.5"W x 12"D 3755900150

Reason for Recall

The trunk has an exterior clasp that can lock unexpectedly when the trunk lid closes. If a child climbs inside the trunk, he/she may not be able to open the trunk from the inside. This poses an entrapment and suffocation hazard to children.

Remedy

Customers should stop using the trunk immediately and keep it out of the reach of children. Consumers should contact the firm for information on receiving a replacement product or a full refund.
