Whalen Furniture Manufacturing, of San Diego, Calif., is recalling about 20,000 stainless steel tool chests,
The inside of the right door has a metal stopper or flange with a sharp edge running the length of the door, which poses a laceration hazard.
The company has received 11 reports of injuries, including nine reports of minor cuts caused by the sharp-edged flange and two reports of cuts requiring stitches.
The tool chests, manufactured in China, were sold exclusively at Costco Wholesale Corp. from March 2010, through October 2013, for between $500 and $550.
Consumers should immediately stop using the product and contact Whalen for a free repair kit that includes a protective cover for the flange. Whalen is contacting all purchasers directly.
Consumers may contact Whalen toll-free at (866) 942-5362 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. PT Monday through Friday.
