CPSC, Crate & Barrel Announce Recall to Repair Children's Table
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Crate & Barrel, of Northbrook, Ill., is recalling for
repair about 4,300 children's tables. These tables have a 6-inch hole
cut in the center. Children can stick their heads into these holes and
become stuck. Head entrapment can be painful and it can be difficult to
free the child.
Crate & Barrel has received four reports of children becoming
entrapped in the table openings. Two children required emergency
personnel to free them.
The 27-inch by 27-inch table is natural hardwood. In the center of
the table is a round opening fitted with a hanging red canvas bag to
hold toys. A red wooden disc with a small hole is provided as a lid for
the receptacle. The tables were sold individually or as a set with two
chairs.
The children's tables were sold in Crate & Barrel stores
nationwide and through the Crate & Barrel 1998 Holiday catalog between
September 1998 and February 1999 for about $75 for the table alone and
$135 for the table and chair set.
Consumers should stop using these tables until the repair is made.
To prevent a head entrapment, Crate & Barrel will provide a free repair
disc that will permanently close the hole. Consumers should call Crate
& Barrel at 800-897-5919 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. CDT Monday through
Friday, or go to any Crate & Barrel store for the repair disc.
