Storage rack recall after baby death
Saturday, November 17, 2007 | No comments posted.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Jetmax International Ltd. is recalling about 36,000 boy’s and girl’s storage racks with canvas totes after an 8-month-old boy died when he pulled on the storage rack and the top rail landed on the infant’s neck, a government safety group says.
Young children are at risk of injury when the storage rack can tip over, posing an entrapment and suffocation hazard to them, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said Friday.
The Irving, Texas, company sold the storage racks, made in China, under the brand “Home Trend Kids 9 Canvas Bin Boy’s and Girl’s Organizers,” at Wal-Mart stores in 2004 and 2005 and at Ollie’s stores from July 2006 through June this year.
For more information, consumers can call Jetmax at (800) 689-2168, e-mail infojlwoodenmfg.com, or visit http://www.jlwoodenmfg.com or http://www.cpsc.gov.
