Child Safety Latches and Outlet Covers Recalled by Prime-Line; Screw Breaks Can Allow Unintended Access

Prime-Line is recalling about 37,000 Safety Latches and Outlet Covers because the screws on the safety latches and outlet covers can loosen and/or break. Hence, when this happens, young children can gain access to electrical outlets and other potentially hazardous items.

Prime-Line has received four reports of screws breaking, but no injuries have been reported so far. The drawer and cabinet latches were actually sold at Ace Hardware, Bostwic-Braun, Cal-Do-It Centers, Do-It-Best, Friedman Brothers, Menards, Orgill, The Andersons Inc. and True Value stores nationwide between October 2010 and June 2011 for between $2.50 and $2.70. Outlet covers were sold at Ace Hardware, Cimarron Lumber & Supply, Do-It-Best, Friedman Brothers, Handy Hardware, Menards and W.E. Aubuchon stores nationwide between October 2009 and June 2011 for about $3.50. But you can contact Prime-Line to receive a free replacement kit instead. For additional information, contact Prime-Line toll-free at (855) 839-9555 anytime, or visit the firm’s website at www.prime-line-products.com.
