Well, that's what I'm saying.
It's important to know that at this hearing, they established that the cedar chest in JoJo's room was not
even originally designed as a toy chest.
It's kind of like what you're saying you have.
It was like this vintage Lane Cedar Hope chest thing manufactured decades ago, like 1956.
And to be fair, like over the years, certain Lane Cedar chests with like automatically locking lids had been subject to recalls.
Children had gotten trapped inside them.
Sadly, some had even suffocated.
So historically, this is not unheard of.
And at first glance, sure, like if
Similar chests had trapped children before.
It makes the story feel plausible.
But there is the nuance that like comes out in court.
Testimony clarified that this specific chest, the one that they're saying JoJo might have gotten trapped in, it was not confirmed to be part of any recall.
So it's not like investigators found a recall sticker or a defect notice like tied to this exact chest.
