Home Trend Kids 9 Canvas Bin Boy's and Girl's Organizers Recall

Janice Villa
According to a recent press relase from U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Jetmax International Ltd., of Irving, Texas is voluntarily recalling about 36,000 boy's and girl's storage racks with canvas totes.

This product was sold under the name "Home Trend Kids 9 Canvas Bin Boy's and Girl's Organizers."

This is a wooden storage rack with three levels and nine removable canvas totes. The handles on each side of the rack are also made of wood. 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. (see photo)

This storage rack was sold at Walmart stores nationwide from August 2004 through July 2005. It was also sold at Ollie's stores nationwide from July 2006 through June 2007 for about $40.00.

The storage rack can tip over easily. This could trap a young child underneath and cause the child to suffocate. The Consumer Product Safety Commission 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.

If you have this product in your home, consumers should immediately stop children from using the recalled storage racks and contact Jetmax International to receive a free repair kit. The repair kit will correct the stability of the storage racks.

If you have additional questions or concerns please contact:
Jetmax at (800) 689-2168 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. CT.
