POMPANO BEACH, Fla. — (NBC) - Video this month of a South Florida boy getting trapped inside a cooler has prompted a nationwide recall.
On March 2, a surveillance camera at a Pompano Beach home showed a young boy named Nicholas Wanes climb into a cooler. That's when the lid suddenly shut and the latch closed, trapping the boy inside.
Luckily his parents were nearby, heard his screams and were quick to react. They were able to quickly free the 5-year-old boy from the cooler, and he was not hurt.
