Home Decorators Collection Storage Trunks
Check whether yours is affected, then follow the instructions below.
What’s wrong
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.
The Recall Registry rates this highest risk — Suffocation risk.
What it looks like
Photos help. Identifiers decide. Appearance can vary by color, finish or packaging. Confirm the model number, date code or other identifier in the official notice.
