Recall Details
WASHINGTON, D.C.- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Palliser Furniture Ltd., of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, is voluntarily recalling about 4,500 toy boxes. 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.
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.
All the toy boxes have a manufacturer's label inside or on the back with "Palliser" and the model number written on it. The model numbers are: 580-283, 581-283, 582-283, 583-283, 584-283, 589-283 and 598-283. The toy boxes measure about 36 inches long by 19 inches wide and 21 inches high. They have the following finishes: white with small color inserts in the knobs or with large color inserts on the front panel; natural maple or natural maple with white, denim or green front panels; and natural cherry.
Furniture stores nationwide and in Canada sold these toy boxes from July 1999 through August 2001 for about $150 (about $200 CAD). Consumers should stop children from using these toy boxes immediately, and contact Palliser for a free replacement toy box or a $50 refund. For more information, consumers should call Palliser at (204) 988-5600 anytime or visit Palliser's recall website at www.toyboxnews.com.

The recalled baby loungers violate the mandatory safety standard for infant sleep products. The sides are too low to contain an infant and the enclosed openings at the foot of the loungers are wider than allowed, posing serious risks of fall and entrapment hazards to infants. In addition, the baby loungers do not have a stand, posing a fall hazard if used on elevated surfaces. These violations create an unsafe sleeping environment and can cause death or serious injury.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. Since the CPSC was established more than 50 years ago, it has worked to ensure the safety of consumer products, which has contributed to a decline in injuries associated with these products.
Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.
