The recalled trunks are leather bound and have a handle on each side, and a clasp on the front. The trunks are burgundy or brown and are sold in three sizes: small, medium and large. The following catalog numbers were used to identify the product: Product Name Sizes Catalog Number Large 24"H x 36"W x 20"D 3755910150 Medium 20"H x 30"W x 16"D 3755905150 Small 16"H x 23.5"W x 12"D 3755900150
