Two new children's products were put under recall this week by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. All details and color photos of the products may be found at their website. The products are listed below for your information - I am posting products that may affect children on my blog in hopes of helping parents prevent deaths and/or accidents with their precious children.
Jetmax International Ltd - 36,000 Boy’s and Girl’s Storage Racks with Canvas Totes
Hazard: The storage rack can tip over, posing an entrapment and suffocation hazard to young children. CPSC has received one report of a death involving an 8-month-old boy who was asphyxiated after he pulled on the storage rack and it fell over on him. The top rail landed on the infant’s neck. No other incidents have been reported.
Description: The storage rack is wooden with three levels and nine removable canvas totes. There are wooden handles on each side of the rack. The boy’s storage rack has natural color wood with red, yellow, green, and navy canvas totes. The girl’s storage rack has white colored wood with pink, yellow, lime, and purple canvas totes.
