## Why This Recall is Important
Child safety recalls are critical for protecting families and preventing further tragedies. In this case, the **KidKraft Farm to Table Model Play Kitchen** recall stems from a dangerous design flaw.
- **Risk of Strangulation**: The design includes plastic or metal hooks to hold toy kitchen accessories like pots and pans. If a young child climbs on the play counter or crawls through the back opening of the kitchen, their clothing could become caught on these hooks, posing a serious strangulation risk.
- **Devastating Incident**: Although no injuries have been reported in Canada, one report in the United States details a tragic consequence. A young child became stuck on the hooks while climbing through the back opening and, unable to free himself, passed away from **strangulation and asphyxia**.
The play kitchen involved in the U.S. case was not securely fastened to the wall, leaving a dangerous space between the product and the wall. This incident highlights the importance of anchoring furniture and toys properly to minimize risks.
