The toy chests are wooden and were manufactured with a natural birch or oak finish. The chests measure 36 inches in length, 20 inches in width and 21 inches in height. A sticker on the toy chests reads "MADE IN CHINA" and "SC51CT-MP."
Hazard
The toy chest's lid support hinges can fail, allowing the lid to fall onto a child's head, neck, fingers or hands. In addition, spaces at the end of the hinge on the lid can cause pinch, crush or laceration injuries to children's fingers.

Consumers should stop children from using the recalled toy chests immediately and contact the firm to receive a $79 refund. Raymond Oak Inc. has contacted all known purchasers by phone or mail. All but 20 of the toy chests have been returned.
Incidents and injuries
