    Made Jan 2, 2015, sent to the company Feb 13, 2015, published by CPSC Mar 11, 2015

    The product, in the report: kids canvas basket; 2 are a large size, 2 are a medium size and 4 are a small size 438

    The consumer is filing a report on all canvas baskets sold by Pottery Barn Kids prior to 2014. The consumer has 8 baskets she purchased in the past 2 years and feel these baskets pose a safety hazard to children using them. The consumer states the newer baskets she purchased on 12/01/14 do not have the same design. The older baskets have a sharp metal insert which on her baskets have become exposed.

    The consumer’s daughter advised the consumer that on one of the baskets the metal insert poked out of the material and is exposed. The consumer feels this is dangerous and is concerned for the safety of her grandchildren, as well as other children with similar baskets.

    The consumer gave a basket to each of her grandchildren and has 4 in her home which she uses to store her grandchildren toys. The consumer purchased a total of 8 baskets in the past 2 years. The other 7 baskets frequently fall apart and it causes the metal insert to be exposed but once the basket is put back together the insert is no longer exposed.

    The consumer contacted Pottery Barn Kids on 12/01/14 and expressed her safety concerns. The consumer spoke with [REDACTED], who advised the consumer that they would replace 2 baskets that she purchased on 12/01/12 (estimated). However, the other 6 baskets she has would not be replaced. The other 6 baskets were purchased on 12/01/13 (estimated). [REDACTED] referred to her supervisor about replacing all the baskets but was told that the consumer would only be able to have 2 replaced. The consumer will receive the 2 new canvas baskets on 1/08/15 and was advised to return 2 that she owns.

    [REDACTED] advised the consumer that because of this issue the newer baskets have a different design. The consumer is upset that the company is aware of the danger but has not recalled these units.

    The consumer would like the inserts to be changed on all her baskets. The consumer feels that all of the baskets sold with this design should be recalled.

    The product, in the report: wire basket http://www.potterybarnkids.com/search/results.html?N=&cm_sp=OnsiteSearch-_-GlobalNav-_-Button&cm_type=OnsiteSearch&itemsPerPage=24&page=2&sortBy=best&words=wire+basket

    Two weeks ago, we admitted a 3 yo girl to Connecticut Children’s Medical Center, Hartford, CT who stabbed herself in the neck when she fell on a wire basket bought at Kids Pottery Barn. She escaped with luck from doom and gloom. She could have torn her carotid artery, her internal jugular vein,, her esophagus or airway; she missed all those guys by a HAIR.

    Mom finds out that Target sells the same baskets and that a child impaled her arm on such a basket.
