Hazard

Remedy
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled storage trunks and return them to any Target store for a full refund or replacement product.
Incidents & injuries
CPSC has received two reports of injuries that occurred when the storage trunks' lids suddenly closed on children, including one report of an 18-month-old girl who reportedly suffered brain damage when the trunk's lid came down on the back of her neck and pinned her throat against the rim of the trunk.
