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.

No one hurt

The product, in the report: Plastic food storage containers (Not bags), 5 1/4 inches square at top, 5 inches square at the bottom, by 3 3/8 inches deep. Lids are 6 1/8 inch square with Ziploc logo embossed into the plastic. Measurements are close but approximate.

While eating raw blueberries from a Ziploc plastic storage container, I wound up with a sharp piece of plastic in my mouth that was stuck to one of the berries. It had broken loose from the removable lid of the container and fallen into the berries. Apparently the piece had broken loose when my wife pressed on the lid to seal the container. A hole in the cover exactly matches the shape of the loose piece. The points of that piece are very sharp, and it is very fortunate that I did not swallow it, as I’m pretty sure that I would have needed surgery to repair the damage. We don’t know how long we’ve had the container, but the plastic lid has become very brittle. I have taken pictures, and zooming in to the damaged area shows cracks that have formed around the hole in the lid.

The product, in the report: clear plastic container that states it is microwave safe.

I was heating up the leftover pasta in a ziploc container. The ziploc container was in the microwave for a minute. When I took out the container, the bottom had melted. The container and contents burned my right hand with second degree burns.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(1/13/2014) S. C. Johnson & Son, Inc.: The following comments are in response to the Commission’s notice to SC Johnson that relates to a consumer report dated December 17, 2013 of a concern with “clear plastic container that states it is microwave safe” (Report No. 20131217-1A9ED-2147448955), (“CPSC Report.”) That notice was received by SC Johnson on December 26, 2013.
The consumer contacted SC Johnson on December 1, 2013, and she was transferred to our medical information line. A representative from SC Johnson’s Consumer Relationship Center also contacted the consumer to learn more about the incident and her injuries. The consumer has indicated that she is willing to send the container to us for evaluation. SC Johnson will continue to work with the consumer to try and determine the cause of the incident.
SC Johnson is confident that all of its Ziploc® containers are appropriately designed, manufactured and tested. We are aware that these products are used millions of times each year by consumers without incident. The description of the incident provided by the consumer is unique and would not be anticipated if the product were in an unaltered condition and was being used according to usage instructions. However, if the Commission has additional information that it would like SC Johnson to consider, we would be glad to evaluate that information.
