The CPSC and Custom Elevator and Cambridge Elevating are recalling their residential elevators.  The spaces between the external landing doors and the interior elevator car door is wide enough that a child may become entrapped and suffer injuries or even death.  If you have one of these elevators in your home, discontinue using it.  Contact the elevator company to obtain free space guards and how to measure the space in order to use guards of the appropriate size.  Reach Custom Elevator at 1-888-443-2800 or via email at [email protected] or Cambridge Elevating at 1-866-207-6551 or via email at [email protected].
