Hurt, care not known Made Oct 6, 2014, sent to the company Oct 15, 2014, published by CPSC Nov 5, 2014
The product, in the report: Progresso soup can --19oz.
After opening a can (pop-top) of Progresso soup I was attempting to retrieve a piece of chicken from the bottom of the can and severely lacerated a knuckle on my right hand. The inside ridge of the top of the can is razor sharp. This is an inherently dangerous design. As an attorney, I can tell you that the potential harm to a young child reaching inside ( or anyone with small hands), could be significant. I’m sure I’m not the first person to have experienced injury....

Hurt, no treatment Made Dec 9, 2013, sent to the company Dec 17, 2013, published by CPSC Jan 9, 2014
The product, in the report: Progresso rich and hearty new england clam chowder, 18.5 oz metal can with pop top lid
I bought an 18.5 ounce can of Progresso Rich and Heart New England Clam Chowder today at my local grocer (exp date 14 Nov 2015). When I tried to open the pop top lid, the soup literally exploded all over my kitchen ( I have pictures). The force of the explosion was strong enough to bruise my knuckles and my wrist is very tender. The reason I think this is a safety issue is that if the lid would have flew out of my hand, I could have been cut badly. Also, if this would have happened to an elderly person with brittle bones it could have injured them worse - or possibly given them a heart attack. It almost gave me one!
