The product, in the report: can of dog food
While opening a can of dog food, The pull tab lid popped open with such force and speed that it cut my right thumb. This was not the first time one of these lids has caused me injury, but this time it was more serious as the cut was rather deep and I bled quite a bit. These lids need to be removed from production because they are much more hazardous than their predecessors (the ones that require a can opener). Not only is the lid itself dangerous, but there is a second hazard with theses cans - the inside rim of the cn where the lid was formerly attached is also razor sharp, so any attempt to reach inside one of these cans could also result in a nasty cut. And with the concern about germs and new infections that are resistant to current medications - these situations must be controlled.
