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.

    The product, in the report: White plastic grocery bag with the name Mariano’s. Bag is approximately 12 x 14 (?)

    Took grocery bag containing 6 1/2 pound can of crushed tomatoes out of trunk upon returning from grocery store. Took two steps, and plastic grocery bag ripped and can fell about 3 feet on to my left foot cutting open the great toe. My husband took me to the hospital as it appeared I needed stitches. I received three stitches and xrays confirmed fractured toe.
