Jetmax International Ltd., in conjunction with the CPSC, is recalling about 36,000 boy's and girl's storage racks with canvas totes after the death of an eight-month old boy.

The infant was asphyxiated after the storage rack fell on top of him; the top rail of the shelf fell onto the boy's neck. The company has not received any other reports of incidents. Jetmax International decided to recall the product because the storage rack can tip over, which can pose an entrapment and suffocation hazard to young children.

The storage rack is wooden with three levels and nine removable canvas totes. There are wooden handles on each side of the rack. The boy's storage rack has natural color wood with red, yellow, green, and navy canvas totes. The girl's storage rack has white colored wood with pink, yellow, lime, and purple canvas totes. Wal-Mart sold the storage rack under the brand "Home Trend Kids 9 Canvas Bin Boy's and Girl's Organizers."

The storage racks were sold at Wal-Marts across the country from August 2004 to July 2005 and in other retail stores nationwide from July 2006 to June 2007. The recalled product was manufactured in China.
