Crate & Barrel children's tables
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Crate & Barrel is recalling approximately 4,300 children's tables due to an entrapment hazard. The 27-inch by 27-inch natural hardwood tables feature a 6-inch hole in the center designed to hold a hanging red canvas toy bag, and children can insert their heads into this opening and become stuck. Crate & Barrel has received four reports of children becoming entrapped, with two requiring emergency personnel assistance. The tables were sold between September 1998 and February 1999 for approximately $75 for the table alone or $135 as a set with two chairs, either in Crate & Barrel stores nationwide or through the 1998 Holiday catalog.
Consumers should stop using these tables immediately. To remedy the hazard, Crate & Barrel will provide a free repair disc that permanently closes the hole. Consumers can obtain the repair disc by calling Crate & Barrel at 800-897-5919 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. CDT Monday through Friday, or by visiting any Crate & Barrel store.
