Safety 1st is recalling approximately 183,000 Sure Fit toilet locks and 685,000 cabinet slide locks because children can unexpectedly open them. These locks are failing to provide the intended safety barrier, which has led to 388 total reports of the locks failing to secure lids or cabinets. Affected units were sold at major retailers including Amazon.com, Target, Walmart, and Home Depot between January 2000 and April 2012. Consumers should immediately remove these locks and contact Dorel Juvenile Group (DJG) for a free replacement of a different model.
Children can disengage the locks, leading to drowning risks from toilet water or serious injury from accessing dangerous household items or chemicals stored in cabinets. One 13-month-old child was hospitalized after swallowing toxic beads from a cabinet where the lock failed.
Consumers should immediately remove the recalled locks and contact DJG for a free replacement lock of a different model. When removing the recalled locks, consumers are urged to immediately store dangerous items out of reach of children and to prevent unsupervised access to bathrooms.
