More than 9,000 youth bed toy chests sold at Costco are being recalled after a 22-month-old Roseville, California, child was strangled when the lid fell on his neck.

This recall involves two styles of Bayside youth beds: the LaJolla Boat Bed and the Pirates of the Caribbean Twin Trundle Bed. The preassembled toy chests are designed in the shape of a ship or boats bow and attached to the beds as a footboard.
