CPSC, Palliser Furniture Ltd. Announce Recall of Toy Boxes

The hazard

The toy box's lid can fall suddenly, posing entrapment and strangulation hazards to young children. In addition, spaces at the end of the hinge on the lid can cause pinched, crushed and lacerated fingers. The toy chest voluntary standard requires toy boxes or chests with hinged lids to have lid supports that keep the lid from falling suddenly onto the head of a child, preventing an entrapment and strangulation hazard. The hinges also must minimize any spaces that could allow a child's finger to be pinched, crushed or lacerated.

Incidents reported: CPSC and Palliser Furniture Ltd. have not received any reports of injuries or incidents involving these toy boxes. This recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injuries.
