Hurt, no treatment Made Nov 8, 2011, sent to the company Nov 17, 2011, published by CPSC Dec 9, 2011
The product, in the report: Stapler (packaging). Staples One-Touch. Stapler is fine. It is the package it came in that gave me a cut trying to open it. The package was no better or worse than the packages that so many products now come in which cannot be opened without exposing many sharp edges.
I would like to report and complain about the plastic packaging that so many products, especially electronics, come in. These are the packages that are clear usually with card board information about the product pressed between to layers of molded plastic. The product often then can be seen.
I have in front of me the Staples brand One-touch Desktop Flat-stack Stapler that came in such a package. I received a minor cut while opening the package.
Opening these package is never easy. It requires a knife or sharp scissors to cut the plastic at many points. It is impossible to open such packages without exposing numerous razor sharp edges. Almost every time I open such a package, I get minor cuts and sometimes something more severe involving profuse bleeding. If I am not careful and slow, I could do very serious damage.
I would sooner let a child play with knives than trust an excited child to open such a package.
I would hope the CPSC would do something to require safer packaging.
