Lane/Virginia Maid Cedar Chest Recall

In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), The Lane Co., of Altavista, Va., is calling for a renewed search for "Lane" and "Virginia Maid" cedar chests to replace their locks. In 1996, following reports of six children suffocating inside the chests, Lane recalled 12 million chests with lids that automatically latch shut when closed. CPSC and Lane have since become aware of another suffocation death and two near fatalities to children who became trapped in the chests when the lids closed and automatically latched shut.
All "Lane" and "Virginia Maid" brand cedar chests manufactured between 1912 and 1987 must have their locks replaced. The chests are often handed down through families, and it is likely that many are purchased second-hand at auctions and rummage/garage sales.
Lane is providing new locks that will not automatically latch when shut, free of charge. These new locks will prevent entrapments and are easily installed by consumers.
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 must be replaced. Contact Lane toll-free at (888) 856-8758 anytime or access their web site http://www.newlock.com to order the free replacement lock. Consumers should have the chest's serial and style numbers, which are branded on the outside bottom or outside back of the chest, when contacting Lane.

If you would prefer not to install the lock yourself, Lockwood Refinishing & Restoration of Columbia will install it free of charge if you bring in your cedar chest and the new lock. Just give us a call at (573) 442-7109

or toll-free at 888-808-6791.
