  1. Seen by a doctor or nurse

    Made Aug 19, 2019, sent to the company Aug 27, 2019, published by CPSC Sep 11, 2019

    The product, in the report: Kroger Grocery Store Mableton GA or the bag manufacturer is responsible for issuing a plastic bag with a bloody like appearance. Customer(s) were indirectly affected

    Incident: Kroger Grocery employee deliberately bagged my items in a used bloody bag. She had the opportunity of correcting her actions, instead she continued to hand me a bloody bag. I didn’t the blood at that instance.

    Need: Conduct a thorough investigation as to whether this is Standard Operations for Kroger. The company is discontinuing Plastic Bags in 2020, but if employees are still issuing out dirty bloody bags; It DEFEATS the purpose of elimination. I visited the employee and showed her my adverse reactions that developed. I need to know if she is contagious and who were the customers next in line (did they go home with a bloody bag(s).

    Solution: I (as well as possible other patrons), have the right to know the truth (why did it happen?. I would like to see the incident unfold on camera as I remember it in my head. A representative of Kroger’s behalf stated “We do not know what that substance is”. Meaning, it could be human blood, lamb blood, nose blood, paint from a marker, industrial cleaning chemical or the bag manufacturers blood. The bag is and has always been available to test.
