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. First aid

    Made May 17, 2015, sent to the company May 28, 2015, published by CPSC Jun 11, 2015

    The product, in the report: Food cans from various manufacturers.

    All food cans with pop-top lids have a safety hazard involving the can’s interior. When the lid is removed, the top interior of the can presents a razor-sharp edge that projects about 1/8-inch into the interior. I have lacerated my fingers several times when trying to stuff a paper towel into the can after I place the lid into the can. The injury didn’t require a visit to the ER or my doctor. I do this to prevent the lid from falling out and tearing my garbage can liner.

    I have also cut myself on the lid itself. However, I received free of charge from [REDACTED] Co. a pop-top lid puller that prevents this hazard. [REDACTED] will send a consumer one free of charge when you call their customer service line.

    However, there is no quick fix for the problem with the can’s interior. I suggest that you investigate the can’s design to see if it can be redesigned or at least a warning label. Manufacturers that use this can are, for ex., Del Monte Foods, Vigo Foods, Campbell Soup.
