Safety 1st Cabinet and Drawer Spring Latches

## Hazards

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.

## Manufacturer(s)

Safety 1st, of Canton, Mass.

## Retailer(s)

Toy, hardware and department stores nationwide sold the set of three or four latches, from January 1993 through December 1999, for about $7.

## 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.
