Hurt, care not known Made Sep 13, 2022, sent to the company Sep 29, 2022, published by CPSC Oct 14, 2022
The product, in the report: Up and Up target multivitamin container
I recently bought Up and Up Target adult multivitamin gummies. The cap shows that it has a child resistant cap (please see photo) and so I felt comfortable leaving it on the kitchen counter. My toddler knows that gummy vitamins are medicine but she grabbed the bottle and before I saw she was able to open the bottle and ate about 20 gummies. When I looked at the bottle I saw that it is not in fact a child resistant cap. I experimented with the bottle and was able to simply twist off the cap easily every time. Please take this product off the shelves until you make sure the cap does work as it should. It was very scary and I don’t want another parent or child to go through that.
Thanks,
[REDACTED]

No one hurt Made Jan 28, 2021, sent to the company Mar 11, 2021, published by CPSC Mar 25, 2021
The product, in the report: Coffee pods (for a [REDACTED]-like coffee maker)
The outer plastic pod contains an inner plastic pod. The outside pod, was transparent and the consumer could see inside.
His coffee maker would puncture the outer pod, but not the inner pod. Therefore, when he attempted to use these pods, pressure would build up inside the inner pod and it caused hot water to spew out of the top of the coffee maker.
There were no injuries and no property damage.
The consumer returned the pods to the dealer that he purchased them from and reported the problem to their staff (name unknown), who worked at the service desk.
This was the first time that he used this brand of pods. The consumer tried a few pods and approximately 1 or 2 of them worked properly.
The consumer was using a [REDACTED] brand model [REDACTED] of coffee maker, but it uses pods similar to the [REDACTED] brand.

No incident, no one hurt Made Aug 27, 2012, sent to the company Mar 8, 2013, published by CPSC Mar 22, 2013
The product, in the report: Red container used at Target Pharmacy to dispense medication.
Target Pharmacy dispensed presription medication without child resistant safety top.
I recently had a prescription filled at the Target Pharmacy located at 3401 Raleigh Road Pkwy West in Wilson, NC 27896. I was provided a medicaiton bottle without a child resistant safety top.
Target should not be dispensing perscription medicaiton without child resistant tops. They should at least inform thier customers that the tops have changed!
This could have been a very dangerous situation.
