Rowe Fine Furniture of Elliston, Va., is recalling about 220 Dalton ottomans with storage compartments.
Young children can become trapped inside the storage compartment of the ottoman, which poses a risk of suffocation.
The firm has received one report of a 3-year-old who became trapped in the storage compartment when an older sibling closed the lid. No injuries have been reported.
This recall involves Dalton style ottomans with storage compartments. The wooden ottoman measures 35 inches long, 25 inches deep and 13 inches high. The storage compartment has a cushioned top lid supported by two hinges and two lid support arms. Model number F135-064 is printed on a tag stapled to the underside of the storage ottoman.
The ottomans, manufactured in the U.S. were sold at authorized Rowe Fine Furniture distributors nationwide from August 2011, to May 2013, for about $450.
