Calls to remove or fix clothing donation bins intensified in January when a woman was found dead in a container in Toronto just a week after a man died after becoming trapped inside a clothing box in West Vancouver.

Toronto-area company RangeView Fabricating said at the time it would no longer construct the metal containers until it could come up with a safer design.
