CPSC, Safety 1st Announce Recall of Cabinet and Drawer Spring Latches

Date: 2001-07-31
Brand: Safety 1st, of Canton, Mass.
Category: Consumer Product
Injuries: 1

Description

The latches are made of white plastic with a spring which holds the latch closed. "SAFETY 1 st" is written on the top of the latches. Their packaging reads, in part, "SAFETY 1ST" and "CABINET & DRAWER SPRING LATCHES." They were sold in a package of three or four latches. The straight ends of the metal springs are uncovered on the recalled latches. The replacement latches have a plastic tab over the short straight end of the metal spring.

Hazard

If the safety latch breaks, a small spring could be released. Young children could choke on the small spring or gain access to a cabinet or drawer where dangerous items are stored.

Remedy

Consumers should contact Safety 1st for free replacement latches immediately.
