WASHINGTON — The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Thursday issued a recall of 350,000 woven storage trunks sold at Target stores because the lid can drop suddenly when released, posing a strangulation hazard to small children opening or reaching into the trunks.

It's the same type of storage trunk involved in an incident involving Camryn Surman of Cranberry Township in 2009.

Camryn, 18-months-old at the time of the accident, suffered a severe anoxic brain injury that caused significant physical and cognitive impairments.

The Cranberry girl, now 2, requires around-the-clock care.

According to the safety commission, it received two reports of injuries that occurred when the storage trunks' lids suddenly closed on children, including the Surman report.

The recall involves 14 models of the trunks made of woven rattan, abaca or banana leaf with standard hinges.

The trunks were sold exclusively by Target from February 2009 through April 2010 for $50 to $130. They were made in China and the Philippines.

The safety commission advises that consumers should immediately stop using the recalled storage trunks and return them to any Target store for a full refund or replacement product.

For additional information, contact Target at 1-800-440-0680 or visit the company's website at www.target.com.

Camryn's parents Eric and Laura Surman filed a lawsuit on behalf on their daughter in March in Allegheny County Court against the Minneapolis-based department store chain, claiming the company should have known the danger the truck posed.
