How badly anyone was hurt

  • No incident, no one hurt 1 CPSC: No Incident, No Injury

As each report says it, in short words; CPSC’s own words are under each.

The reports, as CPSC published them

Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

  1. No incident, no one hurt

    Made Feb 7, 2025, sent to the company Feb 12, 2025, published by CPSC Feb 27, 2025

    The product, in the report: 14 oz can of artichokes typical of the canned products a consumer would purchase at a grocery store

    I bought 3 cans of Kroger artichokes. The little opening tab at the top of 2 out of 3 of the cans fell off. I tried to use a conventional can opener to open the defective cans, and the can opener was unable to pierce the entire circle leaving arcs of it still closed. In order to retrieve the product, I had to pry the top off the can with a screwdriver. This caused slivers of sharp metal to appear which could have severely caused a razor-like cut while removing the product. I think the manufacturing process at Kroger needs to be looked at! Somebody could get hurt opening these cans. A 33% success rate is not good enough.
