a video for everyone to enjoy on how to replace your lock
Lane
Cedar Chest Locks Were Recalled. Here's a video on how to replace
yours.
Did
you know that in 1996, Lane recalled 12 million cedar chests with
lids that automatically latch shut when closed? At least 6 children
are known to have suffocated, so it's very important to change this
lock. They are free from Lane.
All "Lane"
and Virginia Maid" brand cedar chests manufactured between 1912 and
1987 need to have their locks replaced. The chests are often handed
down through families, and it's likely that many were purchased
second hand. At least 6 children are known to have suffocated inside
the chests. I felt this was an important public service video to put
together to help bring attention to this recall, which many people
are unaware of. There are countless thousands of cedar chests in
service with these locks. Together, let's do what we can to get them
all changed and protect our children.
Enjoy this video, as Rod shows you how to replace
the lock
Lane is
providing new locks, free of charge, that will prevent entrapment's
because they do not automatically latch shut when the lid is
closed.
To prevent
another tragedy, CPSC and Lane are urging consumers to check their
"Lane" and "Virginia Maid" brand cedar chests. The brand name "Lane"
or "Virginia Maid" is located inside the cedar chest. If the lid
latches shut without depressing a button on the outside of the
chest, the lock needs to be replaced. Contact Lane toll-free
at (888) 856-8758 anytime or access their web site at
www.lanefurniture.com/newlock/cpsc.htm to order the free
replacement lock. Consumers should have the chest's serial
and style numbers, which are branded on the outside bottom or back
of the chest, available when contacting Lane.
