Children's tables

Crate and Barrel, of Northbrook, Ill., in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), is recalling 4,300 children's tables because children may become stuck in the 6-inch hole in the middle of the table.

Crate and Barrel has received four reports of children trapped in the table opening, with two children requiring emergency personnel to free them.

The natural hardwood table is 27 inches wide by 27 inches long. In the center is a 6-inch-round opening fitted with a hanging red canvas bag. A red wooden disc with a small hole is provided as a lid for the receptacle. The tables were sold individually or with two chairs in Crate and Barrel stores nationwide and through the 1998 holiday catalog between September 1998 and February 1999 for $75 to $135 for the table and chair set.
